Growing up in a Puerto Rican household in East Harlem and hanging with a lot of Italians, I started mixing, trying and tweaking some of the recipes. This can be used with different vegetables you may like. Here is my favorite way. Buen Provecho. 🍈🍅

Steps

1

Cook pasta according to box instructions. Drain. Do not run cold water on it. Pour approximately 4 tbsp and tossed until evenly coated so it won't stick.
2

Chicken should be grilled and cubed. I season with a little lemon juice, Abode, pepper and liquid smoke. (Skip step if already cooked).
3

Mix carrots and peas in a separate pot with water and butter. Warm until butter is fully melted. Drain.
4

Now in a large mixing bowl...mix all ingredients together. Toss. Add a little more EVOO and vinegar to taste.
5

You can also add some powdered parmesean cheese if you like.
6

This can be eaten hot or cold.
