To make my life easier I freeze leftovers (if there are any) in containers in the freezer. Sometimes this means I end up with a couple of containers of Bolognaise, some mac and cheese sauce, Mexican chilli and curries. Similarly I put all leftover dry pasta that’s not used up from a packet in a container. It’s a good way to have things on hand should you need a quick meal for the kids, or use up all your containers of one thing to make a thrown together meal. This is what I did for lunch on a cold day before we needed to head out for the afternoon and evening.

Dear Husband and all the kids loved the Bolognaise bake. It was a combination of 2 different batches of leftover Bolognaise and then some mac and cheese sauce, stirred through whatever pasta (long and short) was in the pantry. Heat up each component, cook your pasta, stir it all together and bake it for 15 minutes in a hot oven

 I don’t have a Bolognaise recipe or mac and cheese sauce recipe to share with you today, use what you have and what you know. That’s the beauty of leftover lunch. If you’re feeling up to it serve it with a salad
Hope you’re loving easy food
