Equipment

  • Frying Pan/Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 1 drizzle Olive Oil
  • 1 un chopped Onion
  • 2 chopped Garlic Cloves
  • 100 gr chopped Tomato (I used frozen)
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 100 gr grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 un German Sausages (Leftover)
  • 200 gr Shredded Pork (Leftover)
  • 200 gr Spaghetti, but you can use any pasta, even elbow macaroni.
  • Water for cooking the pasta (reserve 1 mug and half of this water to use in the sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Slice the sausages and, if you want, also cut the shredded pork into smaller pieces. Set aside.
  • In a frying pan, add a drizzle of olive oil, the onion, garlic, and tomato. Let it cook until everything is soft.
    At the same time, cook the pasta according to the package instructions (and to your liking).
    Add the leftovers — in my case, the sausages and pork — to the sauté.
  • Reserve two ladles of the pasta cooking water. Add the cream, grated cheese, and that water to the sauté. Let the sauce thicken a bit.
    When it is creamy, add the cooked pasta, mix well, and it’s ready to serve.
