Another glorious weekend, another group of friends & their (8) children. A usual, we hosted a potluck & as usual there was too much food. Some of the leftovers got eaten up in their original form, but there was still too much.
Tomato & mozzarella sauce
Tomato & mozzarella salad is inedible the next day. Loathe to throw anything away, I tranformed it into a cooked pasta sauce. The ingredients in my friend's version of the salad include fresh basil leaves & anchovies.
Remove the chunks of mozzarella & cook down the rest in a little olive oil. When the tomato is ready, turn off heat and let cool a bit. Purée & set aside covered until ready to use. While pasta is cooking, add the mozzarella, but careful not to melt it into the sauce: should be chunky, it will melt with the hot pasta.
Beans & sausages
Slice a carrot & onion. Sautée in oil. Divide left over sausage into quarters, add to onions & carrots. Add beans of choice (I use white beans), with some fresh sage. A little of the fresh tomato sauce is optional.
Sauteed shrimp
Slice garlic, sautée in olive oil with a chili pepper. Add whole shrimp (do not remove shells) & a glass of white wine.
