Rigatoni Isabella image

There is this wonderful Italian restaurant in town, Cappetto's, and this is one of their signature dishes. I enjoyed this and told the waiter how wonderful it was. To my surprise the chef came to our table and gave me the simple recipe. This recipe is for 2; however, can be easily adapted for more. Any tube pasta will work great for this dish; penne, rigatoni, etc. Garnish with a couple of fresh jalapeno slices.

I had some leftover chicken in my fridge, so I added it to this recipe and it turned out great! The chicken added a nice protein boost and it made the dish even more satisfying.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making this dish again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I tried this recipe anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and they added a lot of flavor to the dish.
