This Kickin’ Chili Mac Pasta Skillet makes a hearty and satisfying meal, and it’s a dish everyone in the family will love. After all, a hot and delicious pasta dinner is the perfect way to warm up bellies on a chilly fall day.

Chili mac is an everyday classic, but this version kicks up the spice a bit with the addition of a habanero pepper which is processed until smooth and mixed into the tomato sauce. There’s just enough kick to count!

It includes lots of other fresh ingredients too, but because I’m a fan of quick and easy recipes, you’ll find a few pantry staples as well, like Dreamfields pasta!

Dreamfields is made with premium durum wheat semolina, so it has the same delicious taste and texture of traditional pasta. A one-cup cooked serving provides 5 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein!
