omg...chili with Guinness? Can I come over for dinner? Please?


My boyfriend and I make our own version of pasta fagioli: a can of Schiavone's Hot & Spicy spaghetti sauce (it's locally made, not sure how available it is in other places); about half a can of water to thin it out and make it more "soupy;" a can of Navy beans; a can of kidney beans; and about...ummm...maybe 1/2 cup of macaroni. (we never actually measure anything, and constantly change the recipe depending on what we feel like at the time.)

Anyway, cook the macaroni, then throw everything into a pot and heat it a little above simmering (around 3 on his stove, but I guess that would vary. basically anywhere between simmering and medium.) Let it go for at least ten minutes, until everything is warm and smells wonderful. And that's it.

It's soooo yummy, and great for cooler weather.
