Ode to Cayenne Pepper

Why does it taste so good? I don't know....but I'm ok with it.

Things where cayenne pepper is always ok:

-Pasta

-Rice

-Cous Cous

-Meat

-Ice Cream (i kid...)

I just wanted to share this, ya know....take the time out of my day to remind everyone that a little pinch of cayenne will spice up their life.

Below is a recipe for my favorite thing to make and eat:

Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta (seriously its amaze-balls)

-1 packet of whole wheat linguini

-2 peppers: red and green (feel free to opt yellow in place of green......it adds color). youll probably only need a chunk of each--definitely not the entire 2 peppers.

-As much onion as you like. In my opinion.....the more the better. This dish is knock-out with a LOT of onion in it. Don't plan on kissing anyone after......or do so at your own risk.

-2 handfuls of mushrooms. Any mushrooms you like....but not really huge guys.

-Boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Probably 2.

-fresh basil leaves

-lemon pepper

-pepper

-salt

-CAYENNE pepper

-chilli powder

-hot pepper flakes

-1 cup heavy cream

SO EASY:

-Cut up the chicken breasts into little square-ish pieces. season them with all of the above spices EXCEPT the basil and lemon pepper. Spice them really heavily so that they're that pretty red of the cayenne/chilli/pepper flakes

-Prepare 1 cup of heavy creme with a handful of chopped basil in it and a hearty dosage of lemon pepper seasoning.

-in a LARGE skillet, cook them along with a hearty dose of butter. This is NOT a butter-light meal. The more butter....the better. Thank you Dad for my fast metabolism...(but seriously, cook the chicken alone in the skillet until its almost cooked through all the way)

-Add all the DICED onion, pepper, and sliced mushrooms and let them cook with the chicken

-During this, boil some water and get that whole wheat linguini cookin'

-Once the linguini is done, dump it into the skillet and mix with the veggies and chicken. Add oil and butter as you see fit....also feel free to add more cayenne pepper

-turn the heat down extremely low, and pour a cup of heavy cream with basil/lemon pepper over the pasta.....mix in.

-Turn off heat.....and your pasta should be a brownish/reddish colour and be Creamy, Spicey, and really hearty and delicious.

Enjoy.
