Bean Pasta Sauce

 

We had this tonight – a mish-mash really but it went down a treat in the end. We ate it with pasta AND (can you believe it) tortillas – a hit and recorded here for that reason! .....

Bean Pasta Chili Sauce

• 1 onion - finely chopped
• 1 teasp. olive oil
• 1 clove garlic - crushed
• 1-2 chilis (any) - chopped
• 1 red pepper
• 1 other colour pepper
• 1 courgette - chopped
• 1 jar pasta sauce
• 1 tin kidney beans - drained & rinsed
• Chili powder - 1 teasp. or to taste
• Pasta to serve - or tortilla with soured cream and cheese to serve (Mexican style)

1. Fry the onion, then add the garlic.
2. Add the chili & peppers - cook 2 minutes.
3. Add courgettes & chili powder - cook 2 minutes.
4. Add sauce and cook gently til you're ready to eat.
5. Serve with pasta or (and) tortillas, sour cream and grated cheese - Mexican style.

Use this sauce as you like - it's good as listed above but use with mashed potatoes - Shepherds Pie style - or with rice.  It's just a versatile, economical mid-week meal from the fridge and store cupboard.
