Dinner
Posted by chayacomfycook on July 13, 2009
Time to make dinner……off to the fridge I go to see what is lurking, in the shadows. There is just too much food in here. A little cheesecake, some chili, home made tomato sauce, fresh veggies, squash casserole…..
No, all of them would not blend into a good dinner but some of them certainly would and did.

Time for pasta to go into boiling water. Follow directions on box.
Add meat and chili sauce and home made tomato sauce to vegetables. Mix together until well blended.

Drain pasta and rinse.
In each plate, mound pasta and cover with the meat and vegetable sauce.
Beats meatballs and spaghetti any day.
