By Guy Fieri. I have not tried this but wanted to put it in my cookbook for safe keeping. It got great reviews on the Food Network. This only serves 1, but can easily be doubled.

We really enjoyed this dish! Great recipe for leftover turkey. This makes a lot so there is enough for at least I think 3 servings. Next time I plan to double maybe triple the jalapeno's and add some mushrooms to the dish. This is a keeper. Thanks Valerie for posting.

My BF loves this pasta dish and so do I!!! I think this recipe makes plenty for 2...sometimes we even have a little leftover for a midnight snack... but not often. This pasta is easy to throw together once you prep all the ingredients. I always make sure to have everything right by the stove so I can go from one step to the next quickly and smoothly. I like to add a bit more jalapeno, just for a little more kick and also at least double the cilantro for the brightness it adds to the dish. Squeezing a little more lime juice over the top of the finished pasta really adds a little tang I think the dish needs so it is not so heavy... Really delicious and rich... great with some garlic bread and a salad!

Wonderful. I used shrimp this time instead of turkey. I also used fat-free half & half in order to reduce calories and fat. The lime wedges squeezed on the finished dish really makes the dish! I am saving in our "Tried & True" folder. We will be doing this one again soon. Thanks for posting.
