We were going to have a pasta dish. We knew this much. And ever since scarfing down Chelsea's amazing "devil duck" on day 25, I've been craving our homemade noodles, which, quite frankly, I think would be delicious with just a sprinkling of salt and pepper--maybe not even that. But we only have three more nights left, and now's no time to be boring, right? Moreover, we had a ton of leftover produce in our vegetable basket, and we both cringe at the thought of throwing anything away.
So while the pasta was drying (we made thick, pappardelle-style noodles), we went to work on throwing some sort of sauce together. From our surplus, we used one leek, three ripe tomatoes, some garlic, and three slices of bacon. Nothing fancy, but it was a mighty good dish--salt and fat from the bacon, sweetness from the leeks, and acidity from the fresh tomatoes.
With only two nights left, our vegetable basket is empty but for about a pound of fingerling potatoes. Suggestions?
