    I came up with this because it is my favorite dish there and I didnt find any recipe online. So I pieced together my own and over time I believe I have it or very close to it. I hope you enjoy

    Ingredients

    • 2 Cups heavy cream
    • 4 Tbsp butter
    • 4 tsp flour
    • 2 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
    • 1 Cup Freshly grated Cotija Cheese
    • 1 bunch chopped green onion
    • 1 bunch of asparagus (fresh is preferred)
    • 1 cup fresh peas
    • 1 lb chicken breast
    • 1 box (16 oz) of penne pasta
    • 1 Red pepper
    • 1 Yellow pepper
    • 8 TBLS Chipolte enchilada sauce
    • 1 Cup freshly grated parmesean
    • 1 tbsp diced green chilis
    • 2-4 tsp of chipolte chile seasoning
    • 2-4 shakes of cayenne
    • 1 pack fresh cilantro (optional)
    • tortilla strips (optional)

    Directions

    1. In Large pan cook penne pasta as recommended. In another medium size pan cook on medium high heat heavy cream, melted butter, flour, cayenne, and chipolte sauce.
    2. Wisk together vigorously for about 2 min or until sauce is consistent. Add Cotija cheese and diced green chilies. wisk together and let simmer for about
    3. 10 min. Taste a sample to see if it is spicy enough... if not add more cayenne and chipolte seasoning. let it set on low heat until done with the rest of food.
    4. After pasta is finished boiling drain and put in a Large bowl.
    5. Add 1/2 cup of Parmesan to warm pasta...mix and let it set.
    6. Cook your chicken...I grill mine with a small bit of fajita seasoning. Then cut up in small pieces and put in pasta bowl.
    7. Cut up your peppers, onion, and asparagus. Heat in a large sauce pan enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. Add all your veggies. Heat on medium high. Add
    8. more oil as needed to cook veggies. Put top on sauce pan and stir occasionally. Let cook until veggies are nice and tender.
    9. Now add pasta sauce with pasta and chicken. Add veggies in small proportions until texture is the way you like.
    10. Time to serve...I added cilantro on top with tortilla chip strips. It was perfectly good!
