A week ago, I put out a call for suggestions on what to do with the excess after being given a whole lotta pimiento cheese loaf. Many of you were nice enough to write in–thanks!–so I suppose it’s only right to fill you in on the results.
A few folks suggested various cheese sauces. Being fairly lazy and somewhat busy (like most of you), I went the quick route. I stuck a wedge of the mousse-like pimiento loaf in a bowl and microwaved it. Slow Food it wasn’t.
I mixed the sauce with some ziti and slices of quickly-browned chicken sausage and that was that this:
We’ll call it Pronto Pimiento Pasta. It won’t win any Beard Awards, but it wasn’t too shabby.

Oooh, that looks tasty!
I love pasta.
It was!
Another way to do it easily but without the microwave would be to heat a liquid (such as milk, cream, stock, V-8) or a sauce (spaghetti comes to mind), then crumble the cheese into it.
Your meal looks tasty, I think I’ll defrost some of the fancy sausage I keep in the freezer for quick meals.
Quite intriguing topic , thanks for posting . 110739
