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.
