Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into super thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon garlic – minced I used about 6-7 cloves
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flake
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1 lb rigatoni noodles cooked al dente
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese and a pinch of red pepper flake for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet on medium-high heat, heat two tablespoons olive oil. Sauté garlic, red pepper flake, and coarse black pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add in thin strips of chicken breast, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until chicken is done at a temperature of 160 degrees. This should only take a few minutes because the chicken is cut thin.
  • Add in marinara sauce and stir. Then add in heavy cream. Let the sauces simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • To the sauce/chicken, add two tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup peas. Stir until the butter melts.
  • Combine chicken/sauce mixture with cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh parmesan cheese, and a pinch or two of red pepper flake.
