Pasta! Pasta! Pasta! One of my favorite carbs in life. Since I getting older now I am watching what I eat now; but sometime I will treat myself and this is one of my favorite dishes to eat.
This dish is creamy, the peppers give it the sweet tang, the alfredo sauce with Parmesan cheese and nutmeg give it the right balance. Grilled chicken who can resist this dish!
