Holy Moley Spaghetti

This is such a great pasta.  We have a restaurant in town that serves something kinda like this, but boy is it pricey!  So we sat down and put our heads together and came up with this.  And WOW I am so happy we did.  It's got everything but the kitchen sink and is aptly name Holy Moley Spaghetti.  Don't worry, just don't eat breakfast or lunch the day of...or have an appetite and you'll be good ;)




Holy Moley Spaghetti

Servings 6-8

Ingredients You'll Need

Meat sauce:

1 24 ounce jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 15 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
1 14 ounce package turkey sausage, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup green bell peppers, chopped
1 cup red bell peppers, chopped
1 2.25 ounce can sliced black olives
1 lb of fajita stripped chicken

Nacho cheese sauce:

4 ounces pepper jack, shredded
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk, divided
2 teaspoons hot sauce
pinch of salt


Directions:

For the meat sauce:

Preheat oven to 200 F Degrees.

Set a pot of water to boil for the spaghetti (follow boxes instructions).
Saute peppers, and onions until tender then set aside.
In the same skillet over medium heat, cook your turkey sausage and fajita chicken, roughly 5-8 minutes.
Add spaghetti sauce, peppers, onions, and the artichoke hearts and heat till boiling, about 10 minutes.
Put in a bowl and keep warm in the preheated oven.

The pasta water should be boiling by now, so in it goes!

For the nacho cheese sauce:

Toss together pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, and cornstarch in a medium sized saucepan, until evenly coated.  Stir in 1 cup evaporated milk, the hot sauce, and pinch of salt.
Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat until thickened, smooth and bubbly.  Stir in additional evaporated milk, if needed, until desired consistency is reached.  Set in a bowl.

Drain the pasta when ready, place in a large bowl then add both the meat sauce and the nacho cheese sauce in with it.  Stir, stir, stir until it's all well incorporated.

And there you have it.  One magnificent Holy Moley Spaghetti.  I hope you enjoy making it as much as we did!
