Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced on a diagonal, plus more for garnishing
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ pound whole wheat spaghetti, cooked, cold from the fridge (See Note)
About 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for frying
Marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, scallions, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to evenly coat the bottom. Add half of the spaghetti mixture, press with a spatula to flatten it, and cook until the pancake is golden brown, crispy all over, and slides out of the skillet easily, about 6 minutes. Invert the pancake on a plate, add a bit more oil to the skillet, and slide the pancake back in to cook the other side, about 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the pancake to a cutting board and cook the second pancake.
  • To serve, slice the pancakes into 6 slices each and garnish with extra scallions, if desired. Serve immediately with the marinara.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnishing
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups leftover spaghetti with olives and tomato sauce, recipe follows
1 pound dried spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups mixed olives, pitted and halved
1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes, plus more if desired
3 cups tomato sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup basil leaves, shredded
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Add leftover spaghetti and combine well.
  • In a large 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add spaghetti and egg mixture, spreading evenly and pressing down in pan. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Carefully invert onto plate, add a little more oil to the pan, and slide mixure back into skillet and cook the other side for 6 minutes. Turn out onto serving platter and cut into wedges and serve warm.
  • In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. When water comes to a boil, add pasta, stirring constantly for the first minute to help prevent spaghetti from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large saute pan, heat oil. When almost smoking, add olives and red pepper flakes. Saute for 3 minutes over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the sauce and toss to coat completely. Add pasta water if you need to thin out the sauce a bit. Plate pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
  • Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

SPAGHETTI PANCAKE



Spaghetti Pancake image

This is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti, especially when there's enough leftovers for one and a half people, but four or five people to feed. Dehydrated minced onion can be substituted for fresh, and you can use grated Parmesan cheese (canned/bottled or fresh) if desired. Cooking time will actually vary according to how high a heat you use. I'm not sure where I found the original recipe, but I suspect it's in my favorite cookbook again - The Creative Cooking Course, edited by Charlotte Turgeon.

SPAGHETTI PANCAKE



Spaghetti Pancake image

This is my favorite way to use up leftover spaghetti. In fact, I usually make extra just so I can make a pancake! It makes a quick and portable breakfast. My recipe is an adaptation from the one in The Good Food Book by Jane Brody. In the summertime, when I have lots of fresh herbs growing, I use tons of fresh basil in the pancake. Recipe makes 4 healthy servings.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups cooked whole wheat spaghetti
.5 cup egg beaters, or 1 egg and one egg white (nutrition info calculated with egg beaters)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano or basil
dash cayenne
1 T butter

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients but the butter together. Melt butter in a large non stick frying pan, and pour in. You can press flat with a spatula, but I usually put a piece of foil on top of the spaghetti, and then put another pan on top to press down. After about 5 minutes, or when pancake begins to brown, slide onto plate, put pan over top, and flip pancake to cook other side.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of spaghetti. Spaghetti made with durum wheat is best for pancakes, as it holds its shape well and doesn't get too mushy.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked spaghetti will make for mushy pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and burning.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through in the middle.
  • Pour the spaghetti mixture into the skillet in thin, even layers. This will help the pancakes cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Flip the pancakes carefully so that they don't break apart.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover spaghetti, and they can also be made with fresh spaghetti. With a variety of toppings to choose from, spaghetti pancakes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
