Spaghetti Diablo

One of my VERY FAVORITES!!!

2 T. olive oil
1 med. onion, chopped
2 mushrooms, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
8 oz can of tomato sauce
1 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cayenne pepper (I like to add a little extra, you can put as much - or as little - as you like)
Dash of black pepper
3 c. cooked chicken, cubed
1 lb. vermicilli or spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained
Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil and cook the onion, mushrooms, and garlic until onion is tender. Add the crushed tomatoes, sauce, and seasonings. Adjust seasonings to taste. Combine sauce with chicken and pasta. Put in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

***This recipe does freeze well, just completely defrost and bake for about 25-30 minutes. :D

Vegetarian Variation: Omit Chicken, add extra mushrooms, and add one chopped zucchini to the vegetables.
