No leavin's

You can make a frugal dinner with just a little left-over ham, and I finally used up the last of our Christmas ham that was squirreled away in the freezer. If you shop at Trader Joe's you'll recognize this package of egg pappardelle, but any kind of noodle works for a skillet casserole.

This dish is easy to make quickly without a real recipe.

Sauté some diced red pepper, garlic and the ham in olive oil, then add a handful of frozen peas. When the noodles are cooked and drained, mix everything together in the same pan, then stir in a cup or so of grated Romano cheese.

It makes a tasty and quick winter dinner with bread and salad.
And there won't be no leavin's.
