Hell Yea : Comfort Food!

Spicy & creamy chicken rigatoni...   This is one of the mister's all-time favorites.  He loves everything about it, especially the spicy part, and the added peas make him feel like he's eating something healthier than it is :)  Here's the recipe:


What you'll need:

• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/2 Tbs crushed red pepper (this can be cut if you don't like spicy)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 Tbs chopped garlic
• 6 oz chicken, sliced
• 3/4 cup. Marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
• 1/4 cup peas
• 1 lb Rigatoni pasta, cooked according to package directions

What to do:

1. Heat oil over medium heat in a saute pan. Add crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper and garlic.  Saute a few minutes - just long enough for garlic to caramelize.  Add chicken and continue to saute so it is covered in oil/spices. 
2. Once chicken is cooked add marinara, then alfredo and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce becomes thick. Turn off burner and add peas.
3. Mix sauce & chicken into pasta.  Garnish with a little grated cheese (and more crushed red pepper if you like spicy) and serve. 

NOTE: This goes really well with a nice glass of red wine!!
