Once again, I am transforming the extras that Robert had prepared over the weekend into something extraordinary. He made Carnitas with Pico de Gallo, which was already incredible on its own. However, I wanted to combine all the flavors and add more of a kick to the chili peppers we had grown in our garden. I came up with this delicious and cheesy pasta dish. We do not waste anything in our household and always end up with a satisfying meal at the end of the day.
