What do you do with leftover Pasta? Pasta salad of course!
The moving went really quickly yesterday! It was pretty surprising actually. People showed up about 10am and then I went over to the Townhouse to arrange the incoming stuff. Around noon Lisa came over to start lunch cooking because most of the stuff was already out of the apartment. Pretty crazy quick!
We decided to make an "Italian Feast" for lunch. We made up two kinds of pasta, two kinds of sauce (Marinara (used bottled kind and added meat) and Alfredo (I made from scratch, and also, I must add, tasted almost exactly like Olive Garden's Alfredo Sauce)), a salad and the roasted garlic bread I had commented that I was making earlier this week. Most of the food went pretty quickly but we had a lot of noodles left over.
(Aside: The roasted Garlic bread I had a hard time tasting... but I had some left over after buttering all the bread, so I think I might try it on some other bread some time soon and see what I think. The butter itself looks amazing. It's a nice buttery color with the frequent fleck of roasted garlic swimming through it.)
Now we have pasta salad for a couple of days... but we also have enough noodles for a salad this size again. Does anyone know if cooked pasta noodles freeze well?
Things are getting setup and settled here in the house now. We've got what feels like a good amount of boxes, but we've got enough space where we don't have to dance around them. God has provided us with a wonderful place to live!
