Chili & Noodles

Leftover remnants of my second marriage include mysterious overdue bills which surface because my ex-husband seems to have disappeared, knowledge of Italian pasta sauce, the experience of making homemade ravioli, potato cavatelli and almond biscotti, and a simple dish known as chili and noodles.
Chili & Noodles
1 pkg. pasta (angel hair, corkscrew or seashell)
In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions or desired tenderness; drain. Return cooked pasta to pot; stir in chili. Add water to achieve desired thinness. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for about five minutes. Sprinkle grated Romano or Parmesan cheese over the top; stir and cook for about one minute. Serve hot in individual bowls. Note: Leftover pasta can also be used for this dish.
The combination sounds odd, but it's actually quite good. My ex-husband used to take a can of chili, water it down a bit, and then pour it over cooked pasta noodles (angel hair or corkscrew).
I always added a touch of Romano or Parmesan cheese to boot. It's a quick, filling meal, and very satisfying. It was my lunch on this foggy day.
