10. And finally, I will leave you with a little method to transform spaghetti leftovers into something else even more delicious. It’s hard to beat leftover spaghetti. My friend Lori swears this does!
Recipe: Lori’s Fried Spaghetti and Red Sauce
From Lori Valesko, who says, “This beats simply nuking leftover spaghetti, hands down!”
- Leftover spaghetti complete with tomato sauce
- Olive oil
Heat up some olive oil in a skillet. Get it very hot. Then dump in the pasta and cook until crispy on the edges. The slightly burnt tomato taste is FAB! Gives it a whole other flavor, but you have to be sure to almost burn it to get the crispy texture and “morph” the flavor of the red sauce. Caution: it can be messy as the red sauce is going to spatter like crazy, so be sure you have a lid for the pan or you will have red spatter everywhere!
Side note: Lori Valesko runs BeachTrading.com, an online store that offers stylish board shorts, Hawaiian car seat covers, cool rash guards and other beachy essentials.
