Whole Wheat Pasta With Chili Sauce

I thought the weatherman said we were only supposed to get five inches?


Ummm, yeah.  Nine inches.


I shoveled the ENTIRE driveway - but by the time I walked back to the garage another three inches had accumulated where I started!


Oh well.  I did my best, right?

If you haven't had a chance, please read the comments on this post!  There are some absolutely delicious-sounding snow shoveling comfort foods out there - next time snow is in the forecast, I'm stocking up my pantry!

I wanted to eat through some more of my leftovers, but I was in the mood for something a little bit different.  Here's what I did ...

Whole Wheat Pasta With Chili Sauce


1 cup Leftover Chili
1/2 cup Water
2 big handfuls Whole Wheat Pasta
Shredded Cheese

Cooking in three steps - my favorite kind!
1. Boil water, cook pasta, drain pasta.
2. Mix together the chili and water (this thins the chili and creates a sauce-like texture) and heat in a small saucepan.
3. Serve with cheese on top!


This was kind of delicious.  PERFECT snow shoveling comfort food!

There is a giant pile of laundry calling my name.  Apparently I think I'm some kind of superwoman who shovels snow, washes dishes and folds laundry all in two hour span.  Night!

  2. Yum!
    I'm actualy hoping for a snow day around here. The weather report keeps hinting at one, and then nothing happens...so I'm a little jealous of your snow. And that perfect comfort-food-eating weather.

  3. That's when it's time to just hunker down and watch the snow from inside your nice warm house. :) That pasta and chili sauce sounds incredible!! And definitely a great way to warm up.
