Parmesan Pepper Pasta



 One weekend day, it's noon and we are starving for lunch, not wanting to leave the house to go out for lunch, or shopping to restock our very empty fridge, and pantry. Anthony says "I'll take care of it" He whips up this dreamy pasta with bannana pepper rings, it was good. So good I think I made it for lunch twice the next week. I amped it up a bit and added fresh parmesan, and a blackened chicken breast, and BAM it's a quick, cheap, easy, delicious meal. Although I fully credit this meal to Anthony it was his inspiration that lead me to this pasta dish. 

Fettuccini noodles (or whatever you have on hand will work) 
Chicken Breasts ( I pan seared mine with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika) 
3 tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt 
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder 
1/4 cup chopped banana pepper rings
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

 Cook the noodles until right past al dente in salted water. Strain and return to  the pot with all the ingredients. I added more banana rings and cheese. Toss until butter is melted and everything is combined. Top a few slices of chicken and...dinner is served, or lunch, or a snack, or breakfast. This stuff is so good, and it's so cheap and easy anyone could do it. Anthony lived off of something similar through his college days. Enjoy!
