Spaghetti in the pan

 

Good morning and have a nice week.

A big headache in the kitchen is the quantity that you make for the meal. You cook a small quantity, you need more. You cook more than needed, you have excess. Often, the quantity that I prepare, is not exactly as much as we will consume, usually is more . I make spaghetti with meat sauce ... I have meat leftovers ... I make new spaghetti for the next day and ... then I have spaghetti leftovers ... and this continues over and over again.

In order not to end up eating for days similar foods, depending on what I have as leftover, I try to use it in a different way the next day. If leftover is meat, I put it in sandwiches or put it in a pie filling. If leftover is spaghetti, I mix them with cheese and ham and create a quick gratin or put them in the pan for something easier.

So today I have a solution for spaghetti leftover . Of course if you like the idea you can make it from scratch any time. Spaghetti in the pan is a good chance to use what you need to eliminate from your refrigerator.

Enjoy
