Cured Meat

Bacon and Egg Tortellini

Are filled pastas still good at room temperature? This tortellini recipe proves that they are; if you don’t have tortellini or ravioli on hand, use any short, ridged pasta, such as fusilli or penne rigate.

If you have leftover "everything" spice, stir it into Greek yogurt drizzled with olive oil for a savory breakfast.

The Antipasti Plate

What’s better than cheese and crackers for lunch? Salami, too! Use whatever hard cheese and cured meats you prefer.

Vegetable Soup

The pasta will continue to absorb the broth as it sits, so use a small noodle like ditalini, stars, or alphabet shapes.

Turkey Club with Fried Stuffing

This creative sandwich uses two leftovers: turkey and stuffing.
