"Came up with this pasta recipe from leftovers in an act of lunchtime desperation! Hope you enjoy. If you can't find the sambal oelek, you could substitute chili flakes. Sambal oelek can usually be found in the asian grocery."

  2. This was delicious!! I didn't have any cream, so after sauteeing the veggies, I just added a dab of butter and a tablespoon of flour, let it cook out for a minute and poured in some skim milk. It was awesome!! I made it with chicken and prosciutto tortellini's. It had the perfect amount of spice and I will definitely make this one again!
     
  3. In this dish i did not put all the veggies because i did not have them, i added extra garlic, and used sriracha instead of the chili paste. It turned out delishes and the right amount of spicy. Its the perfect amount for 3 people (girls)
