| Spaghetti, roasted chicken, sugar snap peas. |
I love homemade spaghetti sauce from scratch. Love it. I love all the chopping, the simmering all day, the rewarding slurping at the end of the night. Buuuuut, some days you get home late from work, have bills to pay, emails to answer, clothes to launder, groceries to buy...and all you really want to do is catch up on TV. That, my friends, is time for spaghetti sauce from a jar.
Jarred sauce is always on sale, there's always a coupon, and you can heat it up faster than pasta. You can jazz it up, too...I usually add a can of diced tomatoes, a little minced garlic, and some chopped onion or mushrooms if I've got them. And the good news is, if there are leftovers, I just pour them back in the jar and use them over the next couple of weeks. Opened, a jar of sauce usually stays good for a week or two.
So, leftover pasta with jarred sauce starred at lunch today, with some leftover roasted chicken and sugar snap peas. I added just a teaspoon or so of water to the peas so that they steamed when I microwaved this for lunch. Very tasty!
