Chili Cream Pasta

After I made the roast, I had about 2/3rds of the chili sauce left. Before that recipe, I don't think I have even cooked with Chili sauce before. Since my previous pasta experience worked out so well, I figured I would wing my own. Scary, huh? :)


First dice 2-3 small garlic cloves.


Chop up 1/2 of one small onion. Add a small amount of olive oil and saute.


After lightly browned and soft, sprinkle on a generous amount of black pepper.


Also add about 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper. Cook together for 1-2 minutes.


Add 8oz of Heinz Chili Sauce. I have never had any other kind, so not sure of result, probably fine though.


Cook on med until small boil. About 5 minutes.


Turn burner low and add approximately 1/2 cup of heavy cream.


I also added a small handful of Parmesan cheese, about 1/3 cup cheese.



Separately I roasted in the oven mushrooms and asparagus. I used about 5 medium mushroom, but I am a huge mushroom fan. Cooked at 425 in the over for about 10 minutes.


In separate pan, 3 small chicken breast cubed fried up with some bacon grease. Yes, I use bacon grease, it's a lovely added taste.


For myself I cooked up some rice noodles(regular pasta for the boy) then topped them with the sauce, mushrooms, and chicken. It was really good. A tad spicy for the boy, but still good.



I was surprised it worked out. Not because it was anything complicated, but because cooking is not a natural talent of mine and I am not very confident unless using a recipe.
