Clean Out the Fridge Dinner

I had plans for dinner. I really did.

The chicken and Veat were defrosted, my recipe was clipped to my metal cupboards.

But I was tired. And I had a headache. Matt offered to make the planned dish, but I pointed out it would take hours to prep and bake.

"So, is there anything you want me to make for you?", he asked.

I suggested pizza. Thank you, Papa John's.

And clearly, Sunday wasn't much of a 'woo-hoo! let's cook!' night, either.

Filed under 'hey; what's kicking around in the cheese drawer?': a Five-Cheese Baked Pasta.

Using Gorgonzola, Mozarella, Parmesan, Gruyere and Monterey Jack, all mixed together. Using Nigel Slater's recipe as a reference. Good stuff, not too heavy.

And the bread? Left-over Papa John's garlic butter (I always save the tubs), on store-bought baguettes. Talk about a make-do meal!

No big. And less stuff in the cheese drawer!
