Rigatoni - "A la Montana Mex"

Check out Chef Eduardo's take on an Italian classic - Rigatoni A La Vodka. Except we kept this pasta booze-free (we thought it was better to just drink it vs. putting it in the dish). Instead, we use our Sweet and Spicy Habanero Sauce as our pasta sauce spiced with our flavorful Jalapeño Seasoning.

Let me tell you, this dish was killer! Super tasty and easy to make, this should be a staple in any home's meal rotation. The heat is easily controlled in this dish too, simply cut back on the Jalapeño seasoning if you're looking for a milder dish. Give this a try with our homemade pesto on top and post your results on Instagram. Make sure to tag us (@MontanaMex) so we can give you a shout out!
