Rainforest Cafe Rasta Pasta for Two or Three

“This is a terrific , very easy and quick meal to make. The roasted red pepper really adds color and a nice flavor. I will be making this one again and again.”

“Absolutely brilliant. It took a while to make but was well worth the effort. I ended up making a second batch which I froze as a sauce without adding the pasta. This provided a quick meal a week later as I only had to reheat the sauce and cook the pasta. It froze very well. Its now on my OAMC list.”

“Very good, but I agree that the name is misleading.I also doubled and have a lot of servings left for the freezer; not at all a bad thing! This was very easy to make and full of flavor.I used a roasted chicken from the grocery, but otherwise made as directed.I want to make it again in warmer weather using grilled chicken; I think it will be perfection.”

“WOW!Was this ever good!Aside fromthe spinach, it could be done entirely with ingredients from the freezer, and I did that tonight.I pre-grilled chicken breasts (marinated in Italian dressing), had frozen pesto and broccoli florets, had a package of alfredo mix and a jar of red peppers!I guess I just walked into this one!Everything but the spinach could be tucked away in the freezer until you are ready!Actually-the peppers could also be there if you don’t like the ones in the jar-just grill red peppers until they slightly blister (blacken) remove from the grill and tuck immediately in a ziplock bag and freeze.Defrost by running under cool tap water and chop-much cheaper than the alternative.My only thought would be the amount of veggies.I think increasing them would be visually inviting!Carry on, Di Neal!What a treat! “

“This is sooo good and easy to prepare. I doubled the recipe and it worked just great. A keeper for sure!!!”

“This recipe deserves no less than 5 stars. It is absolutely delicious, beautiful, and SIMPLE! I think it would even taste good w/out the chicken for those that are vegetarian :-)The serving size is debatable, as I doubled the recipe thinking I needed enough for 4, when in fact this recipe NOT DOUBLED, would have been plenty for the four of us.After doubling, i have 3-4 extra servings easily. So, if you are not a big eater, i might suggest not doubling if you are serving 3-4 🙂 Just my observation and opinion. Wonderful recipe. I hope to make this again sometime, and I will definitely make it if we get last minute company sometime. This is definitely something that appears to be time consuming, yet takes hardly any time at all! Thanks for the recipe!!!”

“Delicious!Added mushrooms just because we love them.Great recipe:)”

“Very tasty! Love the alfredo sauce and pesto together.”

“We really enjoyed this.My husband said “this is really good” every few bites or so, that’s always a triumph.I used Recipe #8650 and Recipe #12365, and roasted my own pepper.I almost left out the broccoli, only because it didn’t seem to belong, but I’m glad I didn’t, but it was tasty.I served over whole wheat spaghetti noodles, delicious.I’ll come back to this again.”

“I would not change this recipe”

“This was good, but I felt it need some spice in it; maybe some red pepper flakes or something. I did manage to get four large meals out of it, so it really wasen’t alot of calories. Thanks for posting! :)”

“i’ve wanted to make this so many times but never had any pesto. I decided to make some spinach pesto and use that. It was so good. I sauteed the chicken, took it out of the pan then followed the directions for the rest. I doubled it for my family of 6, as we also wanted leftovers. The kids ate it which says a lot considering it was green.:-)”

“It was ok. Nothing to write home about. It was a little too creamy for me. My husband loved it though!”

“Quick and easy if you have the grilled chicken on hand. Quite tasty and colorful. Will definitely serve 3 and could be stretched to four servings will a side salad and bread. Probably will make again but will pump the seasonings up a notch or two.”

“This recipe sat in my cookbook for a couple months. I kept debating whether to make it or not for my picky husband.I had some leftovers from a rotisserie chicken and I had bought the sauces for this a while back. I decided to make it and hubby loved it! The only change was that I left out the spinach, used the whole jar of Alfredo sauce, and I left out the Italian seasoning. I’ll make this one again for sure! I’m just sorry I didn’t make it sooner.”

“Very easy and yummy!! I made it exactly as written and wouldn’t change a thing. There are more than 2 servings but that just means I have some for lunch the next day! Thanks!”

“Very easy and quick to prepare.I didn’t use the roasted peppers in a jar.I just sliced up a fresh red pepper and threw it in the frying pan along with the chicken and other veggies.”

“I liked how quick and simple this was.I also loved what a brightly colored dish this was.I used a lower fat Alfredo, so this was healthly too.I did think it needed more seasoning to punch up the flavor a bit.”
