I make this baked pasta casserole when I have leftover pumpkin chili, but you could use any kind of chili. It's not really much of a recipe as much as an idea anyway.
Preheat oven to 350. Oil a large, deep casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to directions.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil and saute onions and peppers until soft and fragrant. Add garlic and cook over medium heat for a couple minutes more. Turn off heat and set aside.
Drain pasta and return to empty pasta pot. Add chili, onion-pepper mixture, pureed tomatoes, and sour cream--mix to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.. Add in 2/3 of the grated cheese, mix again. Transfer mixture to prepared casserole and top with remaining cheese. Bake until heated through and bubbly, 30-45 minutes or so.
There really are no hard and fast rules or amounts here--the important thing is that it doesn't dry out while baking so if you need more moisture, add it. You can use more pureed tomato, salsa, chicken broth, whatever you like--your call!
