I would have used plain old red wine vinegar for this, not balsamic (no need for the sweetness). Or a squeeze of lemon at the end.

I try to freeze these kinds of things flat in freezer ziplock bags. Saves space (and containers).

I learn stuff all the time here. The Zip Loc idea would never have occurred to me.
Zip Loc bags, what can’t they do. I just stuffed 4 Zip Loc bags filled with wet paper towels and wildflower seeds in the fridge to help them germinate…

I hear you!
I bought some ovenproof glass containers on one of the Amazon Prime days. I really like them for storing things in the fridge and freezer.

This calls for tagliatelle or papperadelle but I’m sure spaghetti would work as well as any long pasta https://www.foodandwine.com/pasta-with-greens-and-beans-11684162

Stanley Tucci’s zucchini spaghetti is quite good.

That sounds great
thinking hazelnuts would work, as well.

Last night we were working on clearing the freezer and the pantry for Thursday. Two small, boneless pork chops were pan fried in olive oil and some Adams cacio e pepe dipping mix. They were sliced into bites and tossed with pasta somewhere between capellini and spaghetti with olive oil, butter, and grated Parmigiana Reggiano. The accompanying salad was Coco Larkin’s California Thanksgiving salad: thinly sliced fennel, sectioned orange, olive oil and Champagne vinegar dressing, pomegranate seeds, Castelvetrano olives, and, instead of Coco’s pistachios, roasted pumpkin seeds.

I made this Mushroom and Lentil ragu from October’s Food and Wine a couple weeks ago. They suggest it over polenta, I made it over rigatoni, but it can definitely be a spaghetti sauce! Being near mushroom country I used a mix of cremini, chestnut, royal trumpet and Maitaki mushrooms. https://www.foodandwine.com/mushroom-and-lentil-ragu-11791843
