what should i do with leftover fresh mozzarella?

janey831 · Kate Spade

You could make a version of a margherita pizza w/ the tortillas, arugula, pasta sauce, and leftover mozarella. Drizzle some olive oil over it?

Starstuff · Kenneth Cole

or fry the polenta, saute the mushrooms, pepper and onions in the evoo. Layer the veggies over the polenta, place a slice of mozz over that, and put it under the broiler. That way you're using the mushrooms too, which in my experience don't have a long shelf life either. HTH

Um, depending on how much was left, I would just eat it. I probably wouldn't even pretend not to be a disgusting pig by dressing it up with basil or olive oil or bread, I would just shove it in my face.

The above ideas would be great too, if you didn't want to go the route of disgusting pig.

thanks, girls! hmm, i think i could do starstuff's idea easily adn that *would* get rid of the mushrooms too. relrel - your post was hilarious. btw i already ate a slice and my 3 yr old daughter was begging for some too!

I'd probably do a baked pasta dish - saute a bunch of the veggies in olive oil, mix with cooked penne or spirals or fafalle, grate the cheese on top and bake it for 20 minutes or so in a casserole dish or cake pan. Then lightly broil the top until it looks appetizing.

I'd add a bit of the salad greens on the side - at least the arugula w/ walnuts and a light vinaigrette.

I'd do an arugula salad: add mushrooms, cilantro, carrots, onions, de-frost bell pepper, toast walnuts. VInegar/olive oil/salt/pepper fopr dressing. ( you can sautee mushrooms with belle peppers & toss them into a salad sauteed). Top the salad with mozzarella pieces.
I'd serve it with polenta & pepperoni ( your chocice which one:)

Oh - it helps to overcook the pasta slightly for baked dishes in case they dry out a bit in the oven.
