Today we made a leftover packed meal. We had left over link sausage and pork tenderloin we needed to use up. We essentially made a bolognese. And by we, I mean Tim. First we made a mirepoix (onions, carrots, and celery plus a little garlic today) and cooked in olive oil. Then we finely chopped the leftover meat in the food processor. Combine with one small can of tomato paste, a cup and a half of milk, red wine vinegar, salt and cayenne pepper. Serve over pasta. We had enough sauce to use over a pound of pasta and have an equal portion of sauce left over.
What I love the most? This meal was oh so cheap. The meat was already included in previous meals and the new costs were low (Milk $0.69, mirepoix $0.35, Tomato paste $.69, and Pasta $.83.) It adds up to $0.47 per serving. Not to mention, it was good!
