Monday pasta

Last night I made a batch of "garbage pasta" to clear some stuff out of the fridge.

I started by sauteing some diced ham, onion, carrots, celery, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped napa cabbage [all vegetables biokiste except the garlic and celery] in olive oil until the vegetables started to soften, then I added the remaining tomato sauce from Sunday, some additional pureed tomatoes, a spring of thyme, a bit of rosemary, a bay leaf, a few piri-piri chilis, and a pinch of herbes de provence. I got this up to a light boil, added some uncooked elbow macaroni, covered and let cook until the macaroni was ready to eat.

We at this topped with parmesan cheese, with a green salad on the side.
