Great recipe – I did change it a bit myself. Didn’t have any jalapeno peppers, so I added about a teaspoon of crushed red peppers and some Sriracha Chili sauce. I also left out the chicken. AND, went with penne pasta (like the picture) instead of Farfalle, like in the recipe. GREAT recipe though. So easy.

I made a variation on this recipe earlier this week and we loved it. I’m a wus so I cut out the peppers and used sweet italian turkey sausage instead of spicy. It was still delicious.
