Well that's good news! Using up the left-overs means good use of food and money AND I don't have to cook dinner!!! (hmmm, which one do I like better...)
So that's what's for dinner tonight. HOWEVER, I decided to go alittle further on that left-over theme and see what I had hanging out in my fridge, to make some soup to go with the lasagna. So, here is what I found in my fridge: chicken stock, 1 zucchini (left over from my zucchini sticks), rice (from another night of dinner), a smidge of pasta sauce (from yet another night).
I sauted 1 chopped up garlic clove in some olive oil, then added my 1 zucchini-all chopped up in tiny pieces-and then sauted that too. I added some oregano, kosher salt and pepper to this concoction. Once the zucchini was softened, I then added about 2 cups of chicken stock and about 1/2 cup of pasta sauce. Then I put in a bay leaf and added the rice (probably about 1 cup) and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Gotta say, it is DELISH!!!! And talk about multiple uses for ingredients!
