the fantastic four (ingredients)

well, our a/c still hasn't been fixed, and i still don't want to cook. after searching through our fridge (mostly so i could cool down) to see what kind of left overs i could mash together to form some sort of meal this is what i came up with.


italian sausage with alfredo spaghetti and spinach

i am uber strict about which type of pasta i use with certain sauces, and alfredo with spaghetti is usually on my no-no list, but this was what i had in the fridge. and like i said, i was in no mood to cook.

1/2 lb spaghetti (i used the leftover we had from the spaghetti bolognese)
4 italian sausages
1 jar alfredo sauce
2 cups fresh spinach

seriously, this was one of the simplest meals i've ever made...
to reheat leftover pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil. dump the pasta into the boiling water and stir to loosen. allow to boil for no longer than one minute. drain.
heat the sauce in a small sauce pan until hot.
cook the sausages according to package directions.
place 1 c of spinach on each plate, then place the pasta on top. add the sauce and sausages. sprinkle with black pepper.
