Yield

Preparation

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook to lightly brown and crumble. Add the jalapeño, onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder, coriander, oregano and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the light brown sugar and stock then add the beans; reduce heat to low. 

 
Salt the boiling water and cook pasta to 1 minute shy of the suggested cook time. Add half a cup of cooking water to the sauce before draining pasta. Add drained pasta to sauce along with the cilantro or parsley, and some grated cheese, a couple handfuls. Toss to combine and adjust salt and pepper. Pass more cheese at table.
