Leftover Magic
So, what do you do with leftover spaghetti? You don't throw it against the wall — instead, you turn it into another meal. Let's say spaghetti with bacon, onions, and peppers, and fancy up the name.
In a 6 quart pot, cook the spaghetti noodles until tender but not over-cooked. Drain and set aside.
On low-medium stovetop in a large pot, cook the bacon with the butter until it starts to brown. Add onions, red peppers, green peppers, and celery and cook until softened.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir until mixed well.
Add the flour and stir in completely. Add the Pinot Grigio (optional), then add the Knorr Chicken Stock or prepared chicken broth. Stir until the sauce begins to thicken.
Pour in the half-and-half and continue to stir. The sauce should maintain its consistency. If too thin, add ½ Tbsp of flour to a bowl, stir in some of the chicken base until blended, and return to the pot.
Check taste and adjust to your liking.
Add the spaghetti noodles and combine. If too thick, add additional half-and-half until creamy. Serve hot.
