I had a jar of those chilis in the pantry of Trader Joe’s and wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them. This came at the perfect time. I got to work last night and it came out wonderfully. Really liked how the rigatoni soaked up all the stuff and really flavored it right.

I also remember Disneyland as you describe it. It’s a shame what it has become with the crowds and their new systems. Thanks for the memories. It sounds like you’ve lived well.

In reply to Micheal Bolton. That's so sweet. It really was special, a very magical time time in my life. Disney was so enjoyable then. Enjoy the pasta and thanks for the kind words.

I am sending this recipe to my daughter. Not for the pasta recipe but the sweet story you shared with us. She loves Disney as a momma of 2 babies. She would love nothing more that to have the ability to take them there everyday. The OLD Disney. The one you went to and the one I took her to as a child.
I, however, will be making this pasta and do expect it will blow the top of my head off. It sounds amazing and I look forward to experiencing it. And, I’ll share it with her, of course.

Thanks again,
Micheal

It’s on the plan! However when I make it, it’s going to have hot Italian sausage in it!!!!!
