I smell carrots! 20-January-2007
DKM - you have carrot breath! Hand them over and no baseboards will be hurt.

What do you do when you have a fridge of stuff that’s almost past it’s prime? You make Fridge Sauce!
…and then you dump it in a baking dish with pasta, cheese and other gooey stuff to make baked pasta. Good for a cold Saturday night.
Sauce
Olive oil
2 leeks
1 carrot
Center of the celery
4 cloves garlic
½ fennel bulb
1 cup of mushrooms
2 cups of tomatoes
Handful of herbs
½ cup white wine
½ cup veggie stock
3 T. tomato paste
1 can chopped tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
Baked pasta
2 cups of sauce
1 cup cooked pasta
2 medium sized mozzarella balls, cut into chunks
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ bag meatless meatballs
½ cup to 1 cup of parmigiano-reggiano cheese
Sautée the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in olive oil – 5-10 min, toss in the mushrooms, tomatoes, wine, stock, tomato paste half of the herbs, and salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 min to an hour until done.
Dump everything into your baking dish, mix well, and bake at 350 for 40 min. to an hour. Enjoy.
Beautiful blue sky! It makes me want to sunbathe!
You tell her Fiona Bun!
Go bun go!
Whoa! Don’t know what’s prettier - the blue sky or the fridge sauce!
Fiona, you go girl! Baseboard damage? hmmmm - I’d hand ofur the carrots.
Yum! In our house, we make Refrigerator Soup.
Ooh, you have buns! Fiona looks like our Dustbunny, who had to hop over the Rainbow Bridge after 10 years of being my best friend. Our picture is on ArtsyCatsy.

thanks for the reminder about Fridge Sauce. i used to make it and it was always an adventure depending on what was in there. haven’t done it in a while. just looked at the “leavings” and will do a batch sometime this week.
