"This was one of the many featured recipes in an email from Betty Crocker this morning. It can be found at the www.bettycrocker.com website: Re-create a fabulous restaurant-style pasta dinner at home. Remember, the smaller the chile, the hotter the bite. A red Thai chile will be hotter than a red jalapeño chile, so decide on the heat level you want."
