Soup.

Watching the grandchildren and they wanted Raman for lunch. They got out soup bowls and dumped the noodles/flavor packets.

While I was boiling the water, the oldest took some tupperware out of the fridge.

Leftover...
fresh spinach
cooked pan sausage
shredded baked chicken
sliced carrots
diced onions
kale
feta cheese

I smashed some garlic and added more water (for me) to the pot.

Since the pasta is already cooked, just add it cold.

Bread it, fry it, dip it in some sort of creamy dip.

Interesting. It would have never occurred to me to try that.

Sausage and peppers works well also with a little pasta.

Growing up we had spaghetti and eggs all the time. Dice up onion and sauté in butter. Scramble a few eggs then put eggs and noodles in together add some salt and pepper and you got a meal. It’s really good.

Not exactly the same, but when I have leftover pasta with marinara... I like to add sriracha or chili oil to it on the second go round to alter the flavor from the original. I also usually add some olive oil. The additional liquids also help combat the drying that sometimes occurs when reheating pasta.

Pasta Frittata
Prep time
10 minutes

Cook time
25 minutes

Serves
4

Ingredients
6 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces leftover cooked pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne (3 to 4 cups depending on noodle shape)
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese, or a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat the oven to 375°F. Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and salt and set aside.

Warm the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pasta and quickly reheat, tossing to keep the pasta from browning and coating the noodles with the oil. Add the pasta sauce and toss to coat.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and shake the pan to settle the egg around the pasta. Continue to cook — placing the tomatoes on top and sprinkling with the cheese — until the egg is beginning to set around the edge of the pan, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake until the egg is set and the cheese is melted, 18 to 20 minutes.
