Cheezy Chili Pasta

This is comfort food at it best... chili meets pasta and smothered with cheese. Jill's son likes to finish this with a dollop of sour cream. Yum!

Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins

 4 cups red bean chili see Jill's recipe for Chili Dogs
 2 cups grated Tex Mex cheese
 2 chopped green onions
 cilantro (optional)
 sour cream for serving

1

Place the chili in a saucepan and warm up on medium heat.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

3

Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.

4

When pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.

5

Spoon 1 cup of the hot chili onto the pasta along with 1/2 of the reserved pasta water and toss to coat (so the noodles don't stick together). Transfer to a pasta bowl.

6

Add remainder of pasta water to the chili and stir. Spoon remaining chili over top of the pasta followed by the cheese, green onions, and cilantro (if using).
