Fried Spaghetti

If you have some leftover spaghetti, like I have every time I make spaghetti, this is a nice twist for leftovers.





I've been making this for several years. It's really easy, different and yummy!







Grab your leftover spaghetti from the fridge, or freezer, if it's from the freezer make sure it's thawed. If it is in the fridge let it sit out for about 30 minutes so it's warm enough that you can stir it. Beat the eggs and stir it in with the spaghetti, then stir the cheese in. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet on medium to medium high heat. Spoon some of the spaghetti into the skillet, with a spatula spread the spaghetti evenly across the skillet, flattening it out and firmly pressing it down into the skillet. You don't want to put too much spaghetti in at once, you want about an inch of spaghetti in the skillet at a time.





Fry it for about 5-10 minutes on each side. You want to make sure it has a crust before flipping it. With your spatula, cut the spaghetti frying in the skillet into four pie pieces. You are doing this so you can flip it and fry it on the other side. After both sides have been fried, transfer the fried spaghetti to a plate and top it with fresh grated parmesan cheese and sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top.





*Fried Spaghetti is really good with ranch dressing drizzled on top.





Ingredients:





Leftover spaghetti





2 eggs (this is for 2 large servings, if you have more spaghetti add another egg, less, only use one egg)





Olive oil





Parmesan cheese





Italian seasoning
