Plan for Italian Sausage Spaghetti leftovers
What do you do with leftovers? Do you ever intentionally plan for them? I do, and I freeze them. Especially when I'm testing recipes, I often end up with a batch or two of the same soup or sauce, and there's no way I can consume it by myself. (Nor do I really want to.) So my freezer is beginning to look like my grandmother's did. She had an entire upright freezer filled with assorted soups, sauces, pies, quiches and cakes ready to be shared with friends. Whether it was food to give a sick friend, welcome a new baby or take to a funeral lunch, my grandmother had it covered.
Today's recipe for Italian Sausage Spaghetti is perfect to enjoy with your family — or you can freeze it for sharing later on. You also can double or triple the sauce and invite a bunch of friends over to savor. It's even easy to cut the recipe in half for just two or three.
Whether you share this meal through your freezer or across the table, it's sure to satisfy.
Suggested menu: Italian Sausage Spaghetti with Italian bread and butter and crisp green salad and fresh sliced tomatoes.
