Chili Pasta

Prepare your favorite pot of chili. I use a combination of ground meat, pork, and shredded meat (leftover pot roast) to compliment the veggies and beans.

[Key ingredients for the sauce are the spices, fresh herbs, some BBQ sauce, and dark chocolate to give the chili a balance of heat, a touch of sweetness, with a slight smoky flavor, and a bit darker color]

Prepare the pasta according to package instructions for an al dente texture. Place the cooked pasta in serving bowls, about 1/3 the size of the bowl.

Layer the chili on top of the pasta and then top with the cheddar cheese.

Place one bowl in a microwave and melt the cheesecake, about 45 seconds. [Repeat with the other serving bowls] Top with some green onions and serve.
