Memphis + Italy = Yum

You'd think that barbecue sauce and spaghetti sauce shouldn't appear in the same dish. My Beloved sure did. But, the pasta dish I made tonight had both and it was good! Served with steamed broccoli and berries Romanoff (the Romanoff sauce being from J's plant), it was a dinner liked by all. Boot didn't even add any hot sauce to his.

BBQ Chicken Pasta

1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1 minced clove garlic
1 & 1/2 lb. chicken, cubed
1 c. chopped green pepper
2 c. spaghetti sauce (we had some leftover homemade sauce from J's cooking night last week)
2/3 c. BBQ sauce (I am partial to Sweet Baby Ray's)
8 oz. rigatoni, cooked
Plenty of grated Jack cheese

Heat oil on medium-high in skillet. Cook onions & garlic in oil 2-3 minutes. Add chicken and cook through. Add green pepper and cook 4-5 minutes. Add sauces, cover and simmer 5-10 minutes. Toss with pasta and sprinkle each serving with cheese. Serves 4-6.
