Chili Chicken Pasta
"I first made this recipe years ago after trying something vaguely similar from a cafe in Sydney. DH fell in love with it instantly. Hadn't made for years until last night, but wanted to put it back on rotation now that I can easily find gluten free pasta. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. 8 March 2010 - Oops, I made this from the recipe tonight & noticed a couple of important ingredients missing - garlic & chili. Now fixed."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Live 1 hour north of Sydney, Australia with my husband, Steve. We both work in Sydney, where I work in the Human Resources department of a charity doing IT work.
I barely pick up cookbooks these days, as I cook almost exclusively out of Recipezaar - DH loves the quality & variety of recipes we have now.
I've met some lovely people through Zaar in person & in the forums. When I was in Toronto, Canada in October 2007, I had the thrill of meeting & having dinner with ~Leslie~, AnnieCan and Irmagard and their DHs for dinner. This was a fabulous night & everyone was so lovely & welcoming.
