Leftover Meatloaf Pasta image

Since there are only two of us in the house, whenever I make something like meatloaf we have at least half of it leftover and usually don't eat it. I came up with this solution using things I had on hand to try and make it a little more interesting and appetizing the next day.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 loaf of leftover meatloaf, crumbled (I prefer Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf)
2 green onions, sliced
2 -3 cups Baby Spinach, fresh
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 tomatoes, diced
1 (8 ounce) can oregano and basil tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon basil
salt & pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup wine (I had white zinfandel on hand and it worked great)
1/2 lb spaghetti, cooked
cheese, to serve on top (blend of romano, parmegiano, and asiago are good)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pan and saute onions and green bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. When peppers and onions begin to soften, add garlic and basil.
  • Add crumbled meat loaf. Do not overcook, just make sure to heat all the way through.
  • Pour in wine and allow to boil 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and baby spinach.
  • Top with tomato sauce, season again with salt and pepper, and cover.
  • Lower heat and simmer until spinach is wilted.
  • Toss with pasta and top with cheese.
