We have a problem … there are only two of us and most of our recipes make four servings that means that we have a lot of leftovers. I usually try to use the leftovers in a different way from the original servings. Earlier this week we had sausage sandwiches and sure enough we had some leftover (but not enough for another set of sandwiches). No problem, we cooked up some quinoa pasta, added some fresh pesto and the sausage. To complete the meal we added some roasted broccoli, sprinkled shaved parmesan cheese over it all and served it with some Naan from Wegmans.
This dinner was paired with a 2009 Spanish Tempranillo which we purchased for $8 also from Wegmans. This is an excellent wine and for that price could become a regular house wine at the Trattoria. Unfortunately, I am still on the Z-Pac and unable to taste the wine but Sally claims it went very well with the dinner and with chocolate. I guess I will have to take her word for it.
