9/13/06 | Leftovers: Red Pepper Sausage Pasta
[ Currently Eating: Walnut Cake and Cup of Joe ]

Shoulder problems have been ailin’ me again recently, so I’ll have to resort to short Leftovers posts for a bit. This is some Red Pepper Pasta with Sausage made from awhile back. It’s actually based around a Red Pepper and Eggplant/Garlic spread that I picked up at Trader Joe’s once for party snacks. After the party, I found out that the leftover could be used to make some pretty good leftovers.
I think spreads like this or jars of pasta sauce can be a great Cheap Eats weapon to have on hand, especially for single eaters. You can store the jars for quite awhile unopened, but even when you do start using from the jar, it’ll keep for a long time in the fridge. That allows you to make several meals out of just one jar of spread or sauce. In this case, I cooked up some Italian Sausage taken out of their casings and then added some red pepper spread along w/ chicken stock, onion, parsley and some noodles. Since the spread is usually a bit strong, a little goes a long way.
