Chicken Fusilli Toss

This is a marvelous dish that I throw together whenever I am in a hurry. It is so quick and easy. I adapted this recipe from a recipe I found a while back. The recipe was really lacking, so I added some key ingredients to bring the recipe to life :-) I hope you like it!

This was absolutely excellent!!!! A few modifications I made were a) dried cranberries instead of raisins, b) mixture of nuts, including pistachio, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts & chopped almonds, & c) Emeril Lagasse's Essence ~ Recipe #14372 instead of cayenne & more than just a dash. We will definitely be adding this to our meal rotation!!!!!Reply

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. I used a different pasta (I forget what it is called, but it looks sort of like penne pasta) and i omitted the rasins and pine nuts because I didn't have any on hand. I definately put in more than 1 dash of cayenne and hubby loved it but it was a tiny bit too hot for me. I might limit it to 3 dashes next time, but we will definately make this one again. I especially liked it because all of the ingredients are things I normally have on hand. Thanks for posting this.Reply
