Sequestration Meal #503

 

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, if you celebrated it! And if you didn't (either because you weren't up to it like me or you aren't American), I hope you had a good Thursday. 

Here we have a remarkably successful "let's clear out the fridge" meal, because I had some homemade cashew-based cheese sauce leftover from something else, and some broccoli that desperately needed cooking. So I used the end of a box of pasta shells and put that with some of the sauce and garnished it with smoked paprika. I added a bit too much pasta water and it ended up thinner than planned but it worked. With that, I had some peas and carrots (my recipe here), some broccoli chickpea nuggets (recipe from Elavegan), and some spicy ketchup (ketchup mixed with sriracha) to dip the nuggets in.

I wouldn't have set out to make this if I were buying ingredients, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! It was a nice avoiding-the-world meal.
