Spicy Asian Chicken Pasta

I love this sauce! It's a bit spicy, so, if you don't want the heat, cut back on the jalapeno and hot sauce. But i love it spicy! You could substitute shrimp or pork cubes very easily in this ample main dish. Or, leave the meat out completely and add some chopped peanuts. Yummy!!
