Best Pasta Ever

This recipe is amazing!  I can never find something spicy enough... this one isn't for little ones. I'll add a picture next time I make it!

Chicken Chipotle Pasta

What you need:

whole box of penne
2 chicken breasts cubed
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 yellow pepper chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 bag frozen peas
1 crown of brocolli or a bunch of asparagus
jar of alfredo sauce
small can of chipotle chillis in adobe sauce (international isle)

While boiling penne to aldente, fry up chicken and add chopped veggies to steam.  I put on a little salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little spicy seasoning.

For sauce- puree the peppers in a food processor or blender and mix 1-3 tablespoons with the jar of alfredo depending on how much heat you are looking for... these peppers are HOTT! (I freeze the rest for next time).

Dump all penne into the large pan (or a big bowl) with all of the meat and veggies.  Add alfredo mixture and a large cooking spoon full (no a whole ladle full, just a spoon) of the starchy noodle water.

Garnish with cilantro, parm cheese and french fried onions!
