Thai Chicken Fettuccine, Southwest Style image

Around the world in one dish... (7/5/07 -- NOTE: I suggest more sauce than posted by either increasing salsa to 1 1/2 C, or add 1 diced tomato during heating process to increase sauce quantity. It's better to have a little more sauce than not have enough!)
