Spicy Chicken Pasta Recipe
This marvelous pasta dish will transport you and your family to Italy! Delicious flavors and easy to make!
Spicy Chicken Pasta, Yum!
My family and I love pasta dishes! All kinds, spicy, Italian, anything! I found a recipe called Chicken Diavolo Pasta from Sum of Yum. And decided to give it a try! This spicy chicken pasta recipe was fabulous!! I made some modest changes to make it my own “version” but either way, this was probably one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had, a keeper for sure! I hope you love this spicy chicken pasta as much as my family and I did!
Talk about delicious! I love this spicy Italian dish. From the moment the Parmesan Cheese melts on each piece of pasta to the leftovers my family devours the next day, it’s amazing. The mixture of fresh baby spinach and sun dried tomatoes transports me to Italy from the comfort of my cozy kitchen! I love how creamy it is thanks to the heavy cream and butter while still feeling fresh. It’s the perfect combination. And if you want to make it a little healthier, replace the heavy cream with 2% milk. And it is still just as amazing!
