The Simple Ingredients In The Easy Recipe
You can feel free to adjust the simple recipe to your own personal tastes, dietary requirements, budget and what you have at hand in your kitchen when you’re preparing the tasty meal with leftover pasta.
Pasta Leftovers – the main ingredient – you can use any type of pasta you like, my preference is fresh spaghetti, you can use regular spaghetti or your favorite variety that you usually include in pasta dishes, including gluten free if you’re gluten free or someone in your family is.
Tomato Sauce – add in any pasta sauce, tomato sauce, or marinara sauce that you have to hand to add plenty of flavor in a simple, delicious way.
Cheese – top your easy pasta recipe with any cheese you like – some of my favorites include parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese, cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese to create a comforting cheesy fried spaghetti.
Herbs and Seasoning – add your choice to flavor to your leftover spaghetti noodles. Choose from sea salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, fresh basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes or crushed garlic cloves.
