To serve pasta with Chilli?

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)?

I'd make potato wedges instead.

No - just serve it with pasta - it's only for the family, I'm assuming?

Don't suppose you have any potatoes? I've done a 'chilli cottage pie' type thing before, with cheesy mash for the topping

I often have pasta and chilli ad I don't eat rice. It's only like bolognese, innit? Wink

There's nothing inherently odd about the flavour combinations, go ahead.

I might do jackets instead though. Jacket spuds and chilli is one of my favourites.

I've made chilli lasagne before now, it was delicious. Sounds reasonable to me.

If anyone says you shouldn't, you should!

I'm off pasta at present, but I'd prefer it to rice and yahboo to anyone who says it's not 'proper'.

Jacket potato for me!

Funny how we get about certain things "going together" isn't it?

My daughter doesn't like chilli or rice much so the compromise is that she'll eat it with pasta.

Nearly gagged the first time she suggested it-& I wasn't even going to be eating it!BlushGrin

We always used to have chilli con carne with pasta when I was growing up, I didn't know it any other way. Always used to have pasta twists though, don't know why!

I would go to the shop for rice but that is purely because I love rice and am a bit meh about pasta.

i like to turn into a chilli pasta bake by cooking pasta, cooking chilli mix together, bung in pyrex, put cheese on top (i use cheddar cos i like it basically!) then bake till bubbly.

(disclaimer i like to add cheese wherever possible)
