To serve pasta with Chilli?

[MortifiedAdams]

Got the chilli on and just discovered that I have no rice left.

Would it be that bad to just serve it with pasta (fusilli if that makes a difference)?

Chilli with jackets & cheese - yes
Chilli with chips & cheese - yes
Chilli with nachos & cheese - yes
Chilli with pasta - nooooo (even with cheese)

Yabu

It's called Cincinnati Chili in the US

Oh no I missed the deleted post.

And im not usually funny about only having certain foods together - I put mint sauce on all roasts, not just lamb.

I wonder what it said - no you horrid peasant type how on earth could you consider such a thing ?

Oh don't worry. You didn't miss anything. It was a non-sequitur.

Nah. The thread isn't controversial enough. It's the summer holidays in Scotland...

i would go and get some rice or do potato wedges

just not a great mix it is too stodgy

YY to chilli pasta bake.

pasta arrabiata is pasta with a chilli sauce (though not usually meaty chilli) and we eat it a lot - it goes fine.

How on earth is it too stodgy? The contents of chilli are the same of a spaghetti bolognaise but just a bit of spice no? Where does the extra stodge come from?

twas a proper recipe from a proper book and everything except they used mozzarella(sp) and personally i think its boring and they didn't add enough chilli peppers.

hmmm... suddenly decided what's for dinner....

I'd go ahead and have the pasta! You have spicy pasta sauce so what the difference?

i like a spicy sauce with pasta like arrabiata but not a sauce that has cumin and kidney beans in just imo does not go all too much together

chilli is little more than bolognaise with beans and chilli pepper in it.. so why not?

Nothing wrong with it at all! It's yummy.

How on earth did someone manage to get a post deleted for breaking the guidelines on a thread about chilli and pasta??

It's carb! Not too dissimilar to a spicy bolognaise (with beans) I suppose.

Small portions though - it will be heaveeee!

Mix chilli and pasta together in a deep oven dish. In a bowl, smash up tortilla chips into crumbs, mix grated cheese of choice with tortilla crumbs. Spread cheese and chip mixture over the top of the pasta and chilli. Bake until crispy on top. A-MA-ZING.

In this house:

Chilli pasta bake = yum.

Chilli + pasta = weird & wrong.

...which makes no sense at all when you think about it!

I'd dig out some wraps/tortillas & make enchilladas though. Or cous cous seems to go.

Would someone please PM about the deleted thread.
I am seriously curious. I came on to say we have pasta with chili often and then find out someone has been upsetting the applecart!!
Promise I won't refer to it!

Nothing wrong with pasta and chilli. Sometimes a chilli doesn't need any carb to go with it (not counting the beans). What about tortilla chips?

The best things in the world with chilli are either:

1. pancakes and cheese sauce; or

2. Yorkshire pudding

Fact.

Trazzle, I think you may be some kind of god. Chilli and Yorkshire Pudding? I HAVE TO TRY THIS IMMEDIATELY.

Edu make sure the chilli is served IN the Yorkshire pudding tho...

And yes, I am some kind of God

Chilli & pasta is like a mexican version of spag bolognese! No big deal enjoy!
