    Chilli Pasta, or Chili Pasta?

    Take your pick on what spelling you prefer, depending on where you are in the world! As I’m in the U.K we’ll go for the Oxford Dictionary definition.

    For my U.S. chums, I know you’ll go for the later, but what’s spelling between friends anyway?

    So, besides the spelling difference, I can assure you that there is no difference in just how tasty this chilli pasta dish is. Wherever you are in the world!

    With all the nutritional goodness of the whole wheat fusilli and protein from the kidney beans, this low cost family meal for 4 is one to add to your “quick dinners” list.

    It's great for those occasions you don’t have much time to prepare a meal but need something healthy. low cost and perfect for freezing too.
