Read more We’ve all been there. You want a quick, nutritious, decent tasting meal. I probably, have some variation of this dish at least twice a week. I don’t eat huge meals these days, four small ones a day is more like it. There is always cooked pasta in my fridge. If there isn’t, give it a couple hours and there is, usually elbow, spirals or Grandpa Jimmy’s (see: Grandpa Jimmys Egg Noodles ). You all know how to cook pasta. If you’re going to keep some in the fridge, it’s a good idea to rinse it well, in cold water. I am a pastaholic. If pasta isn’t your thing, use cooked diced spuds. I have and they work fine. In fact, sub where your fancy takes you. This recipe is Jazz, not Mozart. Take what you find below and make it your own. Feel free in the kitchen and be sure to add a touch of madness. A touch of madness is a good thing and an essential ingredient, for an interesting life. If you’re young, goggle Zorba the Greek. See less
