Ingredients
(serves 2 - adjust measurements as appropriate)
We inevitably have lots of leftovers when I make spaghetti, and sometimes I need to get creative, especially when serving them for the 2nd or 3rd time. This omelet makes a hearty breakfast, particularly if you’re going to be out in the cold weather. It’s also great served with a green vegetable or salad for dinner. (Measurements are all approximate, and ingredients can be adjusted based on what’s in the fridge.)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cup (approximately) leftover spaghetti – noodles of any sort with red sauce works best
4 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup mozzarella or mixed Italian cheeses
Oregano
Salt
Pepper
Red pepper flakes,
Parsley to taste
Optional add-ons: sliced mushrooms,
diced onions, chopped garlic, sausage slices, etc.
Directions
In medium sauce pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add optional add-ons and sauté for a few minutes until almost done. Add leftover spaghetti and heat until warmed thoroughly.
Move spaghetti and add-ons to one side of pan. Add eggs to the other side of pan and sauté until almost done. Put spaghetti on top of eggs and top with cheese. Continue heating until cheese is melted. Garnish with oregano and add spices to taste.
