Oh boy, is this Seven-Spice Chili over Pasta a winner! It’s the epitome of a great, cold-weather dish. It’s spicy, hearty, filling, and aromatic. While it’s cooking, your kitchen will fill with the heady scent of cumin, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon, to name a few. We recommend a tall, ice-cold, apple cider to serve alongside. While the chili jolts your taste buds, the cold cider will cool them down again. This recipe makes a big batch, and that’s a good thing. Serve it later in the week over baked sweet potatoes for a sweet and spicy combination.
