Dream has come true โค๏ธ

Youโve invented a cousin to the Italian dish called pasta e fagioli, which is soupy pasta and beans. Italians would not approve. But who cares, enjoy!
It was delicious. Traditional Italian delicious
What.... What am I looking at exactly?
Fusili pasta with baked beans, jalapenos, cheese, onion powder, a little pasta sauce, pepper, and tobasco.
I tell you what, I must have been chronically low on jalapenos and beans or something because GODDAMN it hit the spot!
You're a madman and now I'm intrigued.
Added to shopping list.
That's the spirit ๐ช the pasta shape is important, this won't work with long pasta
