Recipe: Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta Alfredo (like Carino's)

Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta Alfredo (like Carino's)

1 (1 lb) box Penne reggate-#76 pasta
4 tbsp very good virgin olive oil
1 lb fresh portabella mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup fresh chopped garlic
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 lb Asiago cheese or parmesan cheese, grated
1 jar Classico brand Sun Dried Tomato Alfredo Sauce
2 cups lean chicken cooked, cut in bite-size chunks (I use Boar's Head)
1 lb cooked deveined shrimp
1 cup chopped green onions
1 small jar roasted sweet red peppers, sliced
1 small jar sun dried tomatoes, sliced
1 tbsp ground cayenne pepper powder

Start by putting on a big pot of salted water to boil penne pasta in. Add about 1 tsp salt to water and boil. When water comes to a boil, add pasta and cook as directed on the box. Strain and run water over pasta.

In a large pot put in olive oil and washed mushrooms and garlic. Cook until almost done.

Next add the heavy cream and cheese. Then add the jar of Alfredo sauce. If sauce is too thick add a little more cream.

Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot (except the pasta). Simmer on very low heat for about 15-20 minutes. Serve over the pasta.
