Simple Pasta Chilli!

Simple Pasta Chilli!

Today I wanted to make a tasty meal but I had no fresh veg left. However, I did have some basics including a can of kidney beans, some frozen sweetcorn and some wholemeal pasta. This is what I came up with! 

(Serves 1-2)

Ingredients:

100g wholemeal pasta (gf or wheat)

100g frozen sweetcorn

1 can kidney beans

1 tbsp tomato purée 

1/2 tsp mixed herbs

2 tsp chilli or curry powder 

1 tbsp flour (gf or wheat) 

Boil the kettle and weight out the pasta in the pan. Once the water is boiled pour over so just covering and cook on high heat until soft - about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in another pan add half full of boiling water, the sweetcorn, tomato purée, herbs, chilli powder and the whole can of beans including the liquid, simmer. Mix the flour with some cold water to form a paste and mix into the chilli mixture (this will thicken the sauce). Then once the pasta is cooked and chilli is hot serve! I topped mine with some nutritional yeast. 

This was so quick and simple and what's even more great is that if you have these basics in your cupboard and freezer you can make it whenever you fancy it! Let me know what you think in the comments. 

Have a wonderful happy day. 

Lots of love,
