Sweet Chili Pasta

I awoke at 5pm the day I made this, which placed dinner time at around 10:30pm. It's a strange time to cook a meal, though less strange than cooking in the early am hours. Cooking past midnight is just otherworldly. It's not for me. Anyway, since it was late, cooking something more complex didn't seem appropriate.

This is what I used:

As far as I know, you can only get that (Thai Kitchen) sweet chili sauce from Costco. It is the best sweet chili sauce I have been able to find so far in Canada. You can look for other sweet chili sauces if you want, though in Canada they are under different names, such as "sweet thai", "thai chili", "sweet red chili", etc..
That's Cracker Barrel Old on the counter.

This is how much margarine I added:
As you can see, slightly less than a tablespoon to about 150g of pasta.
I mixed it in before adding the sweet chili sauce.




This is how much sweet chili sauce I added:
I mixed this in before I added the cheese.










This is how much cheese I added:
There's a fairly nice heap on there. I like my cheese. And it's grated for easy flavour distribution :)
I still had the heat on while mixing all of this stuff in which allowed everything to melt, including the cheese.

The final product:
This was quite tasty. I could have eased on the sweet chili sauce a tiny bit, but definitely something I would make again. Typically I would fry some chopped onions and bell peppers and add it to this but I had neither at the time.

Three borks out of five.
