Back to the Chilli…

Step 11

Stir the turkey & kidney beans into the chilli pot, cook for 3 - 5 minutes.

Step 12

If (like me) you are not using a big cooking pot, you may wish to set the pasta aside, and half the chilli into 2 saucepans before adding the pasta.

Step 13

Add the pasta to the chilli, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes - or until the pasta has finished cooking, and absorbed some of the water from the chilli sauce.
