Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

I'm sure you have all seen the pin - a big bowl of pasta with a delicious looking sauce. If not...here's a reminder.


After a quick Google search I found that every blogger and their mother has made this pasta. And each and everyone one of them said it was delicious. So, I jumped on the bandwagon and decided I had to make this delicious (and easy!) meal too!

1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
Salt and Pepper, to season
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 package pre-cooked chicken
3/4 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup alfredo sauce
2 tsp butter
1/2 cup peas
1lb Rigatoni pasta, cooked

1) In a saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper, salt, pepper and garlic and cook until garlic begins to caramelize. Add chicken and make sure to coat it in all the spices.

2) Add marinara and alfredo, bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken. Turn off flame, add butter and peas.

3) Toss pasta with sauce. Enjoy!
