Pasta Sauce X3

So every time I make spaghetti, Mike and I end up with all of this extra pasta sauce that I usually end up throwing away...gasp! I'm always looking for new ways of extending the amount of food we have in the house and this week I was very proud of myself for getting one jar of pasta sauce to last for three different meals!

Meal One: Spaghetti, it was nothing fancy. Angel hair noodles, because we prefer the thinner noodles, and then a few sides and we called it a day.

Meal Two: Pizza bites! Not the healthiest of choices, but we love them and they are great when we are in a rush to get out the door. Monday Night I used our left over sauce and filled 3 containers worth of croissants with pepperoni, cheese and pasta sauce! They were delicious and we even took a few to go with us to small group that night. I wish I had snapped a picture of these!

Meal Three: Eggplant pizza's. I roasted some eggplant in the oven then poured some pasta sauce and cheese on top and then baked it for a few minutes and voila! It was delicious and I was thrilled that I used all of the sauce! No guilt this week throwing any of it away!

After I roasted the eggplant I added the sauce and cheese.

Right before I devoured the mini pizzas!

I am always looking for new ways to be less wasteful with all of our food! I would love to hear some of your recipes! Thanks for reading!
