Week 39: Cheesy Pasta

The Recipe
3/4l pasta
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
~100g sausages (or other meat) in bite sized pieces
1/2 squash, cubed
2 carrots, cubed
1 tomato, cubed
1/2 - 1dl milk
~100g feta, crumbled
Salt, pepper, paprika and curry to taste

Cook pasta according to the instructions on the package.

Meanwhile, warm a bit of oil in a pot and cook onion and garlic until translucent. Add squash, carrots, tomato and sausages and cook for a few minutes while stirring. Add milk, feta and stir in all spices. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Cook under lid until the feta has melted completely, stirring occasionally, to make sure the milk doesn't burn.

The Verdict
Honestly? This was a "for lack of better options, empty the fridge" dish, that I normally wouldn't even think to jot down. However, it turned out SO GOOD that I definitely want to save the recipe for future reference. The feta made the sauce deliciously creamy and the spices complimented each other nicely. I added some sweet chili sauce at mealtime - DH just left it as is. Definitely something I'd want to make again, and I can't even think of any substitutions that would've made it better.
