Easy Saucy Pasta
1 pkg. pasta
1 can chicken broth***
2-3 Tbs. corn starch***
salt & pepper
garlic (powder or fresh)
basil (dried or fresh)
1 Tb. oil
leftover cooked meat, cubed
chopped, uncooked vegetables
Cook the pasta. In the meantime, mix cornstarch, spices, and any dried herbs together in a bowl. Whisk in broth and set bowl aside. Heat oil in large skillet and stir fry meat and veggies for a few minutes. Add cooked pasta, any fresh herbs or garlic, and broth mixture. I always whisk the mixture again right before pouring in. ***see note below*** Stir together well, and let the broth mixture come to a boil---stirring constantly. When sauce has thickened, it's ready to eat! We like to sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and serve with crusty bread.
***This recipe makes a large batch because we are a big family! If you're making a small amount (like just half a pkg. of pasta) then I'd recommend only pouring some of this broth mixture into your skillet and stirring. You will want to control how "saucy" it gets if you are making a smaller batch.
