Fritatta Scramble image

This is one of the best recipes I never thought I'd love. When my children were small, we couldn't afford to waste anything. So I had to find something to do with leftover spaghetti noodles, that didn't involve tomato sauce. This is the recipe I tried, and to my surprise, loved it! The kids ate it up, too. That's a big win. It's so simple, and so tasty, you'll wonder (as I did) why you never thought of it before. It's weirdly wonderful :)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoon(s) butter
1 - onion, chopped
2 cup(s) leftover spaghetti noodles*
3-4 - eggs, beaten
1/3 cup(s) milk, cream, or evaporated milk
- salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop onion. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook onion in the melted butter until soft and golden.
  • Stir fry the noodles a minute or two with the onion. Add salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, and blend in the milk.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook briefly, then scramble, until eggs are set.
  • NOTE: This is a great way to use up any leftover pasta -- spaghetti, egg noodles, any kind of rice noodle... And you can stir in anything you like: mushrooms, peppers.. It's a very flexible recipe, but I think simple is best!
  • *This recipe is easily made gluten free, by using leftover GF spaghetti. (I only use Tinkyada brand.)
