Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Diavolo Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Chicken and Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced chicken and Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced red onion and mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the diavolo butter and marinara sauce. Stir to combine and heat through for about 3-5 minutes.

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Serve immediately.
