Bayou & pasta... two words I originally though wouldn't mix too well... well this dish was a simple combination of complimentary flavours which warrants a high rating due to its' technical simplicity and quick cooking time. Though perhaps lacking the depth of a 5 star meal in regards to spice combination and overall social presentation it is certainly a strong, impactful simple dish designed for anyone that doesn't have time for a more ornate spicy pasta course. A strong rating for a strong contender. I tip my hat to the inventer of Bayou Chicken Pasta.

We had this for dinner last night. Very easy and big on taste. I used mild salsa and with the hot sauce, that was just spicy enough for us. My husband and I love your recipes Nurse Di. This is another winner.
