Fried Spaghetti

Correct proportions when cooking can be very difficult. When Roger and I were first married I could’t seem to make a meal for just two people, I was always making enough for four sometimes six people. Over the last two years quantity control is something I have worked hard at but even still there are sometimes leftovers.

 

 

Although my husband isn’t a big fan of leftovers I like to reinvent my leftovers into a whole new delicious meal – as I did with my leftover sweet potato gnocchi.

 

 

I grew up eating Fried Spaghetti because it is so simple to make and the perfect recipe for leftover spaghetti. Although I grew up eating it with only onions and mushrooms, you could easily toss in some zucchini, eggplant, or squash – or any other yummy vegetable – to complete your Fried Spaghetti meal!

 

This Fried Spaghetti recipe makes enough for one person.

 

Ingredients:

2-3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil – sometime I use butter

1 1/2 teaspoon Minced Garlic

1/8 sliced Onion

Salt

Pepper

1/4 teaspoon Regas Restaurant Au Naturall Pure Seasoning

1/4 teaspoon Victoria Taylor’s Sicilian Seasoning

3-4 sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms

1/4 teaspoon Basil

1/8 teaspoon Oregano

1 serving cooked Spaghetti – leftovers or fresh

1 teaspoon Basil Pesto

In a large pan cook the onions until they begin to become transparent in 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons garlic, with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, 1/4 teaspoon Au Natural, and 1/4 teaspoon Sillian Seasoning.

 

Once the onions are transparent add the 3-4 sliced baby bella mushrooms, and sprinkle on the 1/4 teaspoon basil and 1/8 teaspoon oregano.

 

When the mushrooms begin to look golden on both sides add in the pasta and 1 teaspoon pesto and cook until the pasta is crispy to your liking. Frying the pasta will take 5-10 minutes depending on if you are using fresh or leftover pasta – I personally like my pasta to be half crispy/chewy and half soft.

 

 

Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and enjoy. Oh and I also like to add fresh basil, maybe a little bit of tomato basil marinara sauce, or even some fresh cheese.
