Boil pasta according to directions.
Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet and add chicken with salt & pepper. Cook over medium to medium-low heat until cooked through.
Stir in tomatoes and peas until heated.
Add cream and cheeses, stirring until completely melted.
Next add spaghetti sauce, and if desired, some red pepper flakes for a little more flavor.
Drain pasta, reserving about half a cup of the water, then add pasta to skillet.
If sauce seems too thick, add some - all of the pasta water to thin out.
Notes
* we didn't actually use these when we made ours, but felt that it could use just a little more "kick" - so feel free to try it out!
