Pasta and chicken are the perfect pairing with this spicy capellini dish. Inspired by the Southern Italian tradition of red-hot chilies, we balance the heat of the pepper with citrus and baby arugula for one accomplished mealβ€”easy enough for a week-night dinner.

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 425˚ F.
  2. Coat chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Rub with paprika and chili pepper. Arrange chicken in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for al dente texture. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water.
  4. In a large saucepan on medium high heat, cook bacon with garlic and remaining olive oil until crispy, add the container of Cucina and Amore Arrabiata Sauce for about 10 minutes. Remove garlic and discard.
  5. Add cooked pasta, lemon juice, zest and arugula to the pan. Add cooking water, if desired to help coat. Toss together for about 2 minutes on medium-high heat to incorporate flavors.
  6. Serve chicken sliced atop pasta.
