Quick Chili Marinara
Fusion! I’m calling this dish Chili Marinara because I used a jar of plain ol’ Italian marinara sauce and some Mexican chile powder. The combination was unexpectedly delicious. I needed something fast and easy for dinner. Total prep time was 10 minutes, tops. So easy. So needed. Fast, tasty and nutritious… can’t beat it.
You can serve this over pasta or rice. It’s good on its own, too. All in all, a very satisfying dish for one tired cook and her family! 🙂
Serves 4. Enjoy!
Healthy trails,
A quick and easy savory meal!
