Make It Work

Sometimes you don't want to go to the store.

Sometimes you don't have any food in your refrigerator.

This is when you have to make it work.

Tonight I made a delicious baked pasta with the leftover ingredients from past made meals.

I may or may not have eaten half of this tonight.  It was that good!

Ingredients

8oz pasta
2 cups ricotta low fat cheese
1 1/2 cups marinara
2 tsp basil
salt and pepper
2 tsp Italian herbs
2 tsp dried oregano
1 zucchini
Mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for around 9 minutes, or until the pasta is still a little bit chewy.

While the past is cooking preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all the rest of the ingredients together.  Adjust the seasoning to your liking. 

Once the past has cooked, mix it in with the sauce/cheese mixture. 

Pour the saucy pasta in a 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella.  Put the baking dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.


I don't have any other pictures because I really wasn't expecting this dish to be so delicious!  When I made it I was just trying to clean out the fridge and avoid going to the store.  Who knew throwing these ingredients together would be so good!

Clean out your fridge and see what you can create tonight!
