Timing Out Your Groceries So You Waste Less
Make large batches of pasta
Pasta sauce goes bad quickly, developing a little film of mold at the top. It also comes in such large jars that it’s nearly impossible for a single person or a small family to finish one at one meal. I’m constantly throwing out jars of sauce that are only one-third finished. When you make pasta, commit. Make a giant batch, and just eat the leftovers for days until it’s done. If you make enough just for today, and wait until you feel like having pasta again, your jar of sauce will be moldy.
