PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA
My family's favorite. Always a big hit,. Similar to other recipes listed, however we never add vinegar. Looks great on a platter and we have served it lots of times for guests. The original recipe called for this dish to be served cold as a pasta salad. However, I love it hot right off the stove, or heated as leftovers.

- Note: We like this dish really spicy and add more of these sauces at the table after serving the kids.
- The original recipe just called for Kung Pao Sauce and Sezchwan Sauce--I can never find Sezchwan Sauce and have to stockpile Kung Pao Sauce, so we rely on all of the sauces.
- Of course, the dish is slightly different each time we make it.
