Toppings:

shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

grated parmesan cheese

fresh chopped parsley

Mix the ricotta cheese with some fresh parsley and grated parmesan.  The mozzarella and basil will be individual toppings.

Heat oil in a large soup pot.  Add the sausage until browned breaking it up with your spoon.

Add chopped onion and cook about 3 minutes.  Add garlic and stir until fragrant.  

Add broth, water, parsley, pasta sauce, bay leaves, black pepper, and bring to a boil.

Add in broken pasta and boil per box instructions.

Divide soup among bowls and top with the riccotta cheese mixture, some shredded mozzarella, black pepper, and the fresh basil chiffonade.

Thanksgiving Leftovers

What did everyone do with their turkey leftovers? We roasted a turkey breast Friday night. We carved the meat off the bone and made turkey stock with the bones and some vegetables overnight. Saturday I made turkey pot pie and my husband made turkey noodle soup.

Trader Joes Orange Chicken

People are always asking what everyone likes to buy at Trader Joes. Last night we used the orange chicken in a new way. We cooked the chicken and sauce following the instructions on the bag but we used the chicken to top a salad. I bought romain lettuce, a red bell pepper, green onions, and Ken's asian sesame dressing. Then I sprinkled some sunflower seeds and red pepper flakes on top of my chicken. It was pretty similar to Pei Wei spicy chicken salad. I felt a little better about eating the batter covered chicken on top of a salad :) try it sometime.
