Clean-out-the-fridge pasta, take two

Jump to Comments

If I post every clean-out-the-fridge pasta or stir fry I ever make, my blog will be…well, considerably longer. But I was really pleased with how these flavors melded together.

*2 links duck fennel sausage

*2-3 servings angel hair pasta

*Riesling

*1 can diced tomatoes

*1 cup frozen broccoli

*5 basil leaves, torn

*1 cup or two of spinach leaves

*1/2 a red onion

*a little bit of parmesan cheese

*about 1 oz goat cheese

*olive oil

*a 1/2 cup or so of halved grape tomatoes

*zest of one lemon

Sautee onion in olive oil. Slice sausages into round circles. Cook through, browning on both sides. Deglaze pan with wine. Add basil and grape tomatoes. Cook a couple minutes. Throw in can tomatoes (don’t drain) – bring to a boil and simmer. Stir in goat cheese and lemon zest; add spinach. Microwave frozen broccoli separately and add to the mix. Serve over pasta – grate a little parm over it.

  • My clean out the fridge pasta of yesterday involved jamon serrano, onions, garlic, tomatoes, frozen peas, basil and ricotta cheese over WW angel hair. Anything is possible.
