A couple of months ago I had a little bit of cooked chicken and a few slices of shaved ham in the fridge. With the ' Use It Up ' challenge in full swing, I wanted to make the most of those little scraps. So I made up this recipe and to be honest, it was very tasty.
1 cooked chicken fillet, shredded or pickings from a chicken frame
150 - 200g of shaved ham ( any will do )
1 tin of crushed or diced tomatoes
1/2 a diced onion or dried onion flakes
1 glove of garlic or dried garlic granules or powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
350 - 400 grams of spiral pasta
Grated cheese to serve
Cook the pasta as per instructions
Add the tomatoes to a medium saucepan.
Add all seasonings, meats and onion.
Cook for a few minutes then add the tomato paste if it needs a little extra flavour and thickening.
Just before serving add the spinach and stir through
Drain the pasta then serve the meat sauce on top.
Add cheese if desired
Serves 4

A very similar dish was our go-to when we were really tightening our belts. 1 x rasher of bacon, 1 x large tomato dices, 1 x onion and pasta. We actually still enjoy this meal even if it is the cheapest meal in the book. We cold feed the 7 of us for under $3
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. I love using up leftovers.
