A spicy white sauce cowboy chicken spaghetti recipe made with Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, and green chilies.

When Valentine’s Day comes around, how do you like to celebrate it?

My partner and I change it up every year by sometimes going out to eat at a fancy restaurant and even making a delicious meal at home. For us, the holiday isn’t about what we do, but that we do it together. Gifts are optional, too, but I certainly never argue if they appear!

This year, we’re having a quiet Valentine’s Day dinner at home, so I’ve been tossing around ideas of what to cook for our special meal.

Spicy Cowboy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

My mom would often make this recipe for dinner when I was a kid, and I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought of making it until now. It’s creamy, spicy, full of flavor, and super easy to make.

I tweaked the original recipe by replacing processed cheese with Bertolli Alfredo Sauce, and it worked beautifully.
