Leftover Meatloaf Pasta - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 loaf of leftover meatloaf, crumbled (I prefer Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf)
2 green onions, sliced
2 -3 cups Baby Spinach, fresh
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 tomatoes, diced
1 (8 ounce) can oregano and basil tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon basil
salt & pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup wine (I had white zinfandel on hand and it worked great)
1/2 lb spaghetti, cooked
cheese, to serve on top (blend of romano, parmegiano, and asiago are good)
Preparation
-
Heat oil in pan and saute onions and green bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. When peppers and onions begin to soften, add garlic and basil.
Add crumbled meat loaf. Do not overcook, just make sure to heat all the way through.
Pour in wine and allow to boil 1-2 minutes.
Add tomatoes and baby spinach.
Top with tomato sauce, season again with salt and pepper, and cover.
Lower heat and simmer until spinach is wilted.
Toss with pasta and top with cheese.
