A Perfect Everyday Trick – Quick Macaroni and Yesterday's Pasta Sauce

Sometimes, everyday cooking is about being clever and making the most of what you have. When I opened the fridge and found yesterday's pasta sauce, inspiration struck – why not give it a new life? With just a bit of double cream and a pinch of salt, it became creamy and even tastier than the day before. I boiled quick macaroni, which was ready in just three minutes, and mixed them straight into the sauce. The result? A simple, quick, and incredibly delicious way to use up leftovers – and the kids loved it!

Ingredients

Leftover pasta sauce (around 4 dl)

1 dl double cream

A pinch of salt (adjust to taste)

250g quick-cook macaroni

Method:

1. Heat the pasta sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the double cream and stir until the sauce becomes creamy. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.

2. Cook the quick macaroni according to the package instructions – it usually takes around 3 minutes. Drain the water when done. Mix the macaroni directly into the sauce until evenly coated, and serve immediately.

Tips:

This dish is a perfect way to reduce food waste and turn leftovers into something exciting. Feel free to add a sprinkle of grated cheese on top for extra flavor!
