Leftover makeover : pasta meat sauce

Meat pasta sauce is great  As a leftover. Just add some water or stock, whatever other leftovers you've got in the fridge and voila, you've got stew, or chili. Today I added frozen corn and leftover lentil rice. Yum. 

My hubby made these!

I just want to showcase my Husband's handiwork. He made meatballs from scratch! They were super tasty. I forgot to ask him what ingredients he used. Sorry guys. We had the vodka pasta sauce from Trader Joe's but he added extra onion and mushrooms to it which enhanced the flavor and texture. Next time he endeavors to make the whole thing from scratch: meatballs, sauce, pasta

I look forward to it. =)

Hot or Cold Pasta with Okra

I had never cooked with okra before and wanted to try. I heard it was pretty versatile and could be eaten cooked or raw. It's also supposed to be pretty nutritious. So one Vegetarian Vednesday I whipped this up:

Pasta
Cooked chick peas
Okra
Onion
Premade pasta sauce...from Trader Joes
Pan seared egg tofu

And it was pretty tasty! The okra was crunchy...with a bit of sliminess at the same time. The tastes went well together. And the next day, I ate the leftovers for lunch as a cold pasta salad. Perfectly tasty as well! Love a meal that keeps giving.
