Since no one really enjoyed the meat loaf I made a few nights ago, I wasn't too excited about serving the left overs for supper last night. That is, until I came up with an idea that would transform the meat loaf into something we could all enjoy- spaghetti. The meat loaf was basically just a big meatball, so why not make it into spaghetti? I wasn't fully convinced that I could magically transform the meat loaf into something we liked, but it was the best idea I had.
We didn't have any spaghetti, so I used the whole wheat shells we had in the pantry. I added two cans of tomato sauce to the rest of the meat loaf sauce to make the sauce for my pasta. After simmering that for 20 minutes, I stirred in the crumbled up meat loaf and heated it through.
This made a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce for pasta that we all enjoyed eating. (Jacob has been such a picky eater recently, so I was really glad he ate the pasta.) Supper was saved!
