Spicy Creamy Bowties

Jump to recipe

Looking for a quick meal that is simple and delicious? You’ve come to the right place! These Spicy Creamy Bowties are a fun alternative to typical pasta with red sauce. This recipe requires minimal effort and packs lots of delicious flavor.

I created this dish to satisfy our love of spicy food with the decadence of a cream sauce. I enjoy a good alfredo dish, but the sauce can be so heavy and high in calories. This sauce marries the richness of a cream sauce with the flavorful punch of a spicy sauce. It takes no time at all and the results are so worth it!

I start out by boiling water for the pasta and sautéing garlic in olive oil. Be careful not to burn the garlic!

Can you smell that garlic??

I then add the red sauce, spices, cream, and cheese. Give it a good stir and check the spice level. Don’t go full throttle on the red pepper at first. Taste it and add as desired.

Yummmmm

Cook the pasta in boiling water according to box instructions. While the pasta cooks, let that sauce simmer and take in the delicious smells.

Who doesn’t love parmesan cheese?

Once the pasta is cooked, go ahead and throw it in that decadent sauce. Add the chicken or meat if you desire. Both are excellent. This recipe is sauce-dominant, so go ahead and serve this dish with lots of fresh, crusty bread to dip it in.
