Spicy, creamy pasta for two

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart's One-Pan Pasta. I changed some of the ingredients based on my tastes and what I had on hand. I prefer creamy sauces over tomato-based ones and I love dishes with strong flavors. I am just cooking for one and I don't love eating leftovers so I just made enough for one meal now and one later on. <br /> <br />Then loosely followed the cooking instructions, "winging it" as I went. Everything went pretty well. I had to add some extra salt afterwards. Next time, I'd probably decrease the spice factor slightly...it was a little much even for me.
