On Friday, of course, we ate Thanksgiving leftovers.
On Saturday, we were ready for something different. However, I was not yet ready to cook. Thankfully, I had some spaghetti sauce I had previously frozen! Now, I reap the rewards of cooking double batches and freezing some. I boiled some spaghetti and heated up the sauce. Dinner!
On Sunday, I had to go out of town for the afternoon. I was tired when I returned home.
I still had some of the spaghetti, but no more sauce. I did have bacon, eggs, and parmesan cheese in the fridge.
So, I fried the bacon and left it to drain on paper towels. Then, I poured off almost all the bacon grease, leaving about a tablespoon in the skillet.
Next, I mixed together 3 slightly beaten eggs, about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, and a few dashes salt and pepper. Then, I crumbled up the bacon and added it to the egg mixture, setting it aside.
Putting the leftover spaghetti in the skillet, I stirred it up until the spaghetti was warmed up. I added the egg mixture and cooked it all together, stirring gently and turning it to ensure all the egg was cooked.
Voila, a quick and easy meal was created with basic ingredients. I got this recipe from "Betty Crocker's International Cookbook" - a recipe called "Spaghetti Carbonara". I have been making this dish for so long now, I no longer use the recipe. I still don't measure, but you get the idea...
...Now, I better go and plan this week's menu - tomorrow is grocery shopping day.
