**This is the original recipe that I found at the above link.  I actually doubled the ro-tel, chicken broth, half and half (Instead of heavy cream) and penne.  This recipe was so easy; Kadon made it while I cuddled a clingy little girl!:)  The boys thought it was too spicy; next time I would use smoked sausage (as it calls for) instead of the hot italian sausage.  Substituting the cream did NOT make this healthy, however!
