Recipe post : Spinach Acini di Pepe vegan & chili mac

[Guest guest]

Your chili mac sounds great and eay also. I'll try it.

My recipe served 4 and it called for everythig doubled but i thought that was

way too much. I was afraid my nephew and his buddy wouldn't like it but they

hogged it right down. When I posted the recipe I did the 4 serving amount since

that is usually fitting for most households T I rescued a little for my lunch

tomorrow. Just double the recipe if you need more.

This sounds good...I was looking for something different for Friday,

think I found it! I love spinach!! How many did this feed?

 

 

Tonight I made an old stand by that everyone likes (rarity), chili

mac or chili fusilli (depends on which noodles I've got). I

switched it up a bit and it was still a hit...I don't measure much

when I cook...

 

Saute an onion and stalk of celery, I like them chopped real fine,

but you may want yours chunkier & you may want to add peppers. Add

in some cumin, oregano, cilantro (garlic if you choose). Usually I

add plain fake ground, this time I used Light Life Sausage, it comes

in a tube and you can slice it or crumble it...I crumbled it. The

sausage added a nice zing, but not too much, my guy that doesn't

care for spicey ate lots!! Then add some tomatoes (flexible...ya

need at least 2 15 oz cans, you can use chunks or puree or a combo

or even fresh) and add a can or two of beans, kidney, pinto,

black...whatever. If you need to stretch it or want it thinner, add

some veggie broth - I usually add a cup. Now just stir in the pasta

you should have already started - the kids love chili fusilli,

macaroni noodles were in the original recipe. Make it as noodly as

you prefer.
