Simple Fried Spaghetti

I love this recipe! It is super simple, relatively cheap and can be made easily. All you need are a few ingredients: spaghetti, water (to boil the noodles), butter (or oil for frying), and seasonings. That’s it!

This recipe is really great for the night after you’ve made spaghetti with red sauce and you have leftover noodles. I don’t know maybe it’s just my family who makes WAY too many noodles, but if you guys are in the same boat as me this is the recipe for you! : ) If you don’t have any leftover noodles, just make some! All it takes is 15 minutes!

So lets begin!

I’m just going to start from the beginning in case you don’t have leftover noodles, if you do then just skip down a bit.

Being with boiling water, add about 2 teaspoons of salt or just salt your water until you feel it’s enough. : ) (I think it makes the noodles taste better.) Fun fact, contrary to old wives tales putting salt in water does not make it boil faster, however it does make the water boil hotter. 

Pot of water, turn to high heat, salt your water and stir.

 When the water reaches a roiling boil (I mean it an actual rolling boil, not simmer.) add the pasta. You can break the noodles in half or cook them whole. Do it however you usually do, I just like options! I cooked my noodles about 9 minutes however I used Linguine noodles in this tutorial but I usually just use normal spaghetti noodles.

Boiling water, breaking pasta, stirring, stirring, stirring, turn down burner to medium high.

After the noodles have finished cooking and you’ve strained them, begin warming a skillet over medium high heat with about a tablespoon of butter or oil. Add enough noodles to fill the pan. Usually I use Mrs. Dash Table Blend and Extra Spicy and some garlic salt. I highly recommend it!! If you can't afford it just add salt and pepper with some garlic powder to taste and toss the pasta in the skillet and fry until the noodles are glossy and a slightly warmer color.

Strain noodles, set skillet on medium high, add butter, fill bottom of pan with noodles, salt and pepper and cook until slightly glossy.

After you have finished, serve and enjoy! I like to eat my fried spaghetti topped with cheese. YUM! 

 Plate your finished pasta.

 Sprinkle some beautiful parmesan cheese over the top!

Viola!!! YUMMM!!!!
