Fettuccine With Sweet Pepper Cayenne Sauce

Well Folks......this is another keeper.  Just enough "kick" to warm the back of your throat!  This dish is great if you like "meatless" dinners.  If you must have the meat..........try cut up chicken tenders or shrimp...or whatever floats your boat!  I also added onions..... A great Pantry Meal/Meal in a Bag......even the red peppers come in a jar.......Oh, skip the Parmesan in the green container.....get the Parmegano Regiano....it freezes....your taste buds will thank you........ Enjoy!  deb
