Food Abstraction

Sometimes I like to experiment.  My lovely wife asked if I could take on the preparation of diner this evening and without a specific mandate I was left to ponder what to do while staring at the pantry.  My eyes fell on a half used bag of egg noodles and some dried tomatoes from our garden and the game was on.  I pulled out about 6 cloves of garlic and diced them to be sauteed in oil and when browned added in some fresh sweet peppers and the aforementioned tomatoes.  The plan was to approach this as a sort of pasta and I cooked the noodles while the 'sauce' was going.  Turns out some of what I thought was dried tomatoes turned out to be dried peppers which added some surprise heat.  Because of all the dried goods the sauce was looking a bit stiff so I added some of the pasta water (the additional starch in the water adds texture and flavor).  I added in some cubed acorn squash and caned diced tomatoes to round it off and put the drained noodles in the sauce pan to allow the flavor to cook in.  On the side I warmed up some green beans canned by my mother and added some dill.  I am pretty sure that these combinations had not yet been done and was pleasantly pleased with the results.  I just need a name for it now.
