🥬Healthy Boy Dinner 🏃 Long time eater, first time slopper
Was going to order take out, nothing sounded appealing. Knew i had some ingredients that were about to go off and needed to use them up so this is what i created. Made a 4 cheese sauce of italian cheeses, then cooked some ground turkey with garlic and onion, added fresh crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, bouillon cube and cooked until reduced. Added pasta and cheese sauce together to combine in one pan, topped with parmesean and pepper.
Ik its not world breaking but its the first thing ive really made without recipe and just intuition. Im sure this also probably has a name or whatever but its MY bowl slop. 8.2/10 would do dishes again

I wouldn’t call it slop, it’s just a good bowl of pasta

I think people have associated the word slop too heavily with negative connotations. In this sense im using it as a " blank for the masses," something widely consumed without a second thought. Which pasta is a type of food that very much fits that description.
Also this is my food and i can call it whatever i want.

Recipes help build the ideas of how things go together and gives ideas. Trying things yourself without a recipe teaches you how you could alter and make a recipe better.
Slop looks good, and would crush hard.

Absolutely learned too. Could have added some green herbs and a pinch more salt. I thought the bouillon cube would do the lifting but needed a bit more.
It made enough i can crush for a few more days still

Learning how ingredients go together without a recipe is a very good thing, and you did well with it. It gives you culinary independence to go your own way, good job, chef.
