Tasty Leftovers

 

We love to eat Pesto and I don't even bother making my own pesto sauce since a few years ago I had found a very good Italian one that we have bought ever since. Pesto sauce, spaghetti, parmigiano reggiano directly grated over it, a glass of red wine on the side - it is so delicious.

Since I always make an entire package of spaghetti, we have quite a bit left, and I use them for a tasty leftover meal. I just look what I have and then come up with something.

Last time I made this:


I broke apart sweet Italian sausage (after I had removed the casing) that I fried in my cast iron pan. Then I sauteed sliced zucchini and red bell pepper, added the spaghetti and finally put the sausage back in, a few grinds of black pepper, warmed it all up - done. It was very tasty. The anise and fennel seeds of the Italian sausage gave the meal a distinct flavor that I liked very much.

    Your dishes look so delicious, Carola. I just made pasta today, and just added butter, cream, broccoli, garlic salt, and pepper. Very simple and delicious. The Italian sausage you added sounds good also. I sometimes put sausage in my pasta as well. And bell pepper always makes everything taste better. Spaghetti is a great dish anytime, any place.

    I made pesto once and once was enough. Your pesto pasta looks delicious. I like that you didn't skimp on the parmigiana either. Although I'm now a vegetarian, your leftovers look really tasty, especially because I love zucchini so much, too. I want to eat at your home (grin).

    Hmmmmm, I sure do have parmigiano reggiano in the fridge, I love that, too!
    No idea if we have such sausages here. But I´m very picky with meat and probably would make it the old fashioned way - looks yummy, to leftover spaghetti!
