Let me just put this out there: I love leftovers like a fat kid loves cake!  Shout out to 50 Cent.  Now what I don’t love are global pandemics like COVID-19. However, as we are all trying our best to shelter in place in order to flatten the curve (it’s real, let’s all do our part), like others I find myself cooking a whole lot more out of necessity and also to keep sane. That means a whole lot more leftovers, which because I Iove them – as I mentioned at the top – is “a good thing”. Oh my God, I just quoted Martha Stewart! Fuck you, Coronavirus!

But sometimes, instead of the actual meal – like actual, say, lasagna leftovers – I’m left with just the extra flat sheets of egg pasta (homemade because the grocery stores were completely out of all pastas! #panicbuying #humblebrag) I used for the lasagna. What do I do then? Well, coincidentally, that theoretical was based on true life events.   And I’ll tell you what I did.  I cut that pasta up into noodles and found other ingredients in my fridge that went well with egg noodles:  sausage, zucchini, garlic, lemon, capers. And then I threw it all together and made another delicious meal! Because that’s what I do: I make leftovers more delicious.

Fortunately for you, I also I made video with my 4 year-old iphoneSE (with a dirty front lens I can’t clean – thank you Apple!) and my 4 year-old daughter (with a mostly clean front face)  because I’m kind of going crazy and just wanted to make something without thinking about it too much.  So, give a watch and hopefully it inspires you to do something creative and delicious with your leftovers.
