"Really great flavor and very easy. My only changes was to use pancetta instead of bacon, added some Italian seasoning to the chicken. Next time I will probably only use half a jar of the sauce since..." See more it was a little much for only 1/2 lb of pasta."

"This dish is fabulous!! Love the kick of the spicy sauce and the chili peppers. Plus, having chicken, shrimp and bacon in the same dish is a great combination. This also works well with Asiago chee..." See morese instead of the Parm."
