TIP OF THE DAY: Leftover Pasta
We hope that you had a tasty National Pasta Day yesterday. If you were a little overzealous in your pasta preparation, any leftover, unsauced pasta can be turned into a pasta salad. Or, serve it as a side with a totally different sauce. Cold tortellini make a tasty hors d’oeuvre—provide toothpicks and a dip (we especially love pumpkin tortellini this way). Add “short cuts”—shaped pasta—to a green salad. If the pasta is already sauced, adding cubes of grilled chicken, pork, ham, seafood or vegetables turns it into a brand-new dish.
