Last nights dinner was a '30 minutes till dinner what on earth can I throw together?', turned out VERY good.
put leftover turkey in a pot of water (enough to boil the pasta in) (betcha any meat works)
add one beef bulion, two chicken then add
onion powder, pepper, some terragon, whatever else DS thought of
then remember you might need turkey sandwhiches for lunch sunday, take out some turkey and put on bread with mustard, pack up in the fridge

.
Then add pasta (I have found that egg noodles and spirals absorb the flavor better)
Nuke some veggetables (kids pick of course) add to bowls with the err other stuff. (or put the veggies in the pot if you don't mind them softer - I hate mushy veggies though)
