I knew two things when I came home tonight:
- I wanted a home cooked meal
- I wanted something quick and easy that didn't require me to do a big grocery shop since I didn't leave work until after 8 PM
One of the benefits of throwing a party is having all the leftovers. I had a ton of random ingredients in my fridge that separately were nothing special. However, when I threw them all together in a pot, they created something wonderful. I picked up a zucchini on the way home and sauteed it with leftover onions and cremini mushrooms. I then tossed the veggie mixture with some cous-cous and stirred in some leftover arugula, prosciutto, and truffled ricotta. It was creamy, hearty, and utterly satisfying. I recommend throwing a party if for no other reason than to discover an amazing dish out of the leftovers.
