Instructions: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan, add jalapeno peppers and garlic and saute about 1/2 minute. Add picadillo and tomato sauce and simmer 4 to 5 minutes until heated and thickened. Add a few tablespoons water if sauce is too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, al dente. Drain pasta and transfer to a bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil if desired, then with 1/3 cup chopped green onions and half the sauce. Top with remaining sauce, sprinkle with remaining green onions and serve.

Makes
4 main-course servings.
