Directions

Boil Pasta separately in a deep vessel until they become tender & fluffy.

Heat 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil in a fry pan. Add bell peppers (cut into cubes), onion & fry well. Add salt & pepper. Keep aside.

Heat 3 tbs extra virgin olive oil in the same fry pan & fry chicken (cut into cubes) until it turns into a brownish color (or until chicken is cooked thoroughly). Keep aside.

Heat 2 tbs butter in a shallow pan. Add all purpose flour, stir well. Add milk & keep stirring until mixture thickens slightly. Add oregano, basil, crushed jalapenos, pasta seasoning, salt & pepper. Mix well. Remove from stove.

In a baking dish, arrange pasta noodles. Add fried bell peppers & chicken. Add the above made white sauce, mix until the sauce coats the pasta well. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the pasta.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Serve Immediately.

Yes, I agree. I would change the quantity of milk to 1 cup but keep the all-purpose flour as is. 1 tbs of the flour is sufficient to thicken the sauce. May be you can also add more or less (as per taste) of other ingredients such as oregano, dried jalapenos and basil. Thanks
