Dinner. Speaking of using what you have
I cooked up some bacon yesterday that had to get cooked or tossed. I only
had a bacon sandwich, so lots of bacon to use today. Had a bag of spinach in
the fridge, some green onions, both ready to turn if not used soon.
I cooked a half box of whole wheat penne pasta, and then sautéed the chopped
green onion with some chopped garlic in some olive oil and a small slice of
butter. When they softened, I added the spinach, chopped, and let it wilt,
and added the leftover bacon, chopped into bits. Set it all aside while I
made a white sauce and added half and half, skim milk when it needed even
more liquid, salt&fresh ground pepper. Once that cooked through I added
about a tablespoon of tomato paste and a little white wine and added in the
veggies and bacon, some parmesan cheese and mixed thoroughly. It was yummy
and I have lunch tomorrow and another meal after that.
