Pasta Recipes for president!
Yesterday I came home from a wonderful weekend away.
(More on that soon, but here’s a quick look.)
As soon as I got home, I was showered with hugs and kisses from the kids. And immediately after the kisses the kids asked what was for dinner.
Really!?!?
Is that all you missed about me?
Blarg.
Anyhoo… then I had to make dinner.
So I did… and I think you’ll like this last-minute dinner too!
(Hopefully I’ll be adding more easy pasta recipes soon!)
And it only has two ingredients! (Not including the pasta.)
We were roaming the isles of Costco and my husband was sucked into one of the tasting stations and we ended up buying Cattle Drive Chicken Breast Chili. Random.
(When Brad comes with me to Costco we end up with the most random stuff in our cart. I know I’m not alone ladies!) The chili had been in our pantry for weeks then I “discovered” this easy pasta recipe when I was in a pinch. i.e. need dinner but don’t want to go out… again.
Make the pasta according to the bag/box instructions. Drain then put back in the pot. Pop a can of the chili and add to the pasta. Then chop up any kind greens and add to the pot. I’ve used, kale, spinach, arugula, and iceberg. Mix well until the greens wilt just a bit. Put in bowls and serve! It’s nice to have a bit of a side like bread or fruit, but the dish can stand on it’s own! And my meat loving husband is even satisfied.
Don’t have this exact chili? I bet you can substitute any kind of chicken/bean type chili-ish canned item.
This pasta recipe is always a hit!
I mean, just look at that face…

Absolutely fantastic dish, anything with pasta is numero uno in my world. I make macaroni salad and even add tomatoes like a New Yorker.
