Our state is famous for its green chilies. Naturally, my husband and I included them in this linguine dish we invented. The sauce is also excellent with spaghetti or fettuccine noodles. All of our five children, ages 3 to 13, love it.

SPICY CHICKEN LINGUINE

I like this spicy so I usually add more red pepper, if you don't like spicy stuff, replace the red pepper with black pepper, or leave it out (but it won't be as good). This is another great recipe from the Chicago Tribune Good Eating section.
