I went to bunco night and wanted to make an easy pasta dish due to lack of time. I ended up making a new creation that turned out pretty good! I made a chicken pasta with sauteed red onions, red peppers, tomatoes and spinach. I made it a bit spicy with red chili flakes and chipotle powder.
I did use Gluten Free penne pasta which unfortunately doesn’t look ask pretty after a while because the noodles get too soft and break down. I doubled the recipe to make for a big group, but the recipe will feed 6-8 people.
