I was trying to throw together some quick items to have something for dinner later. Some penne was left, some rotini was left, had some hot sausage I meant to use for a pizza the other day, but the spouse didn’t want sausage that day, whatever, make a quick dish.

Cook the bottom of the box penne and rotini, throw the sausage in a pan, season/brown in, throw it into the pot of drained pasta.

Take the sausage juice/fat and add flour to it to start a roux. Everything seems good, poor in the last of the milk… wait, was that thick. Crap it smells off, check the jug, best by January 7th. Son of a b, can’t get that sausage fat back to start over, and the milk is gone. Looking for liquids because I don’t have any broth or such in the pantry. Ugh
