Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Emptying the refrigerator, kept simple

Bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil with stock cubes or salt to serve as pasta water. Cook the pasta and Maultaschen (small pockets of pasta) or tortellini, observing the cooking time in the correct order. In a large pan or wok, fry the onions and leftover sausage (without the cooked sausage) in oil (e.g., hunting sausage, salmon ham). Add tomato paste and stir in. Add the cooked sausage, if using. Deglaze with the pasta and water, season with savory and thyme. Salt is often unnecessary because of the sausage and pasta water. Serve with mozzarella, leaf spinach, hard cheese, egg custard, or anything else that adds color to the plate.
