Do you like leftovers? I like some things I make leftover but not everything.

For instance I do not like much pasta leftover. I think it gets soggy and I hate that. I like lasagna and other baked pasta dishes warmed back up but I do not care for spaghetti reheated. I like pasta in soup but not leftover. The pasta sucks up to much liquid from the soup and gets soggy.

Jimmy ( hubby ) will very rarely eat leftovers...I don't like pasta either as a leftover.

I mostly love left overs. There are few things that I wouldn't enjoy again the next day. With pasta it depends. If it's lasagna, mac & cheese or some other baked pasta then I don't mind at all but if it's something like al olio then I'm not going to enjoy it as much. In the later case you can add some egg and make it into a spaghetti sort of fritata. Then I'm good to go again.

You know what we do with leftover spaghetti? We have FRIED spaghetti! Man, now that is good. My mother used to make it all the time when I was a kid with the leftovers but I totally forgot about it until about 5 years or so ago.

It really isn't that hard, just mix together the leftover sauce and spaghetti, add a little canola or olive oil to a large skillet and heat to medium high or high and add the mixture. Constantly break up with a spatula, and press on to the pan. Flip it over every, say 4-5 minutes when it darkens on one side and repeat that for about 15 minutes or so. You want it chopped up pretty good, almost a long rice size. You also want it to crust up each time you flip it. Break it up with each flip. Makes a great meal or side dish.

Oh yeah, I wrote this down on my site back in March 07:

Leftovers can be fun to work with! there is quite a bit you can do with them. I always make too much pasta - I still cook for an army at times.
You can always turn it into a casserole with a bit more sauce, cheese, peppers, etc. - just about anything you want.
The trick is to make your leftovers look and taste like they aren't leftovers!
