Do you cook? swedeace 06-25-2006, 07:41 PM Never eaten it, but it does sound a little familiar. I'm not sure. Sounds good, though. TVFactFan 06-25-2006, 07:58 PM Do you cook? Not too much during the summer moeee 06-26-2006, 12:35 AM First it was Fried Turkey, now fried spaghetti?!?!? Disgusting. Ireneparalegal 06-26-2006, 12:37 AM Yep!!!! deeeelicious. Brieannas21 06-26-2006, 12:55 AM Yuck!!! I agree, sounds like a heartattack on a plate. Ireneparalegal 06-26-2006, 01:04 AM FRIED SPAGHETTI What to do with leftover spaghetti? This is a delicious solution. Saute a couple of cloves of crushed garlic in 1-2 tbsps. olive oil. Add leftover spaghetti and stir until heated through. Add steamed vegetables of choice, such as slivered zucchini, slivered or sliced carrots, broccoli flowerettes, tomato wedges, peas, italian green beans, sliced mushrooms, sliced red & green sweet peppers, black olives, whatever is available. Toss until well blended. Season with a bit of salt and freshly grated black pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley and a few black olives. Serve with escarole soup, tossed salad and fresh crusty bread. Abundanza!!! WHAT IS SO YUCKY ABT THIS???? I do this all the time. DEEELICIOUS. Ireneparalegal 06-26-2006, 01:12 AM YUCK, Irene, I love you, but gross, girl!!! LMAO!!!!!!! this is not MY recipe, but it sounds great. I just fry it up and add parmesan cheese. moeee 06-26-2006, 01:36 AM FRIED SPAGHETTI What to do with leftover spaghetti? This is a delicious solution.

I think it's great that we bastardize other countries food like this. But yeah. I've had it. Hell, I'm southern, I"ll eat anything! Yooch 06-26-2006, 05:27 AM Saw this on the menu tonight for the first time and thinking about ordering it. Heck, yeah, I've had it many times. It's simple to cook and you can add what you like. If people feel it's unhealthy, just add some veggies or have a green salad on the side. That's it! 80sTrivia 06-26-2006, 06:01 AM I do love spaghetti, but I've never had it fried before. I loved baked spaghetti, so I'm sure it probably is delicious fried as well.. :) bandito 06-26-2006, 06:52 AM Fried spaghetti is the best. I have it all the time. Janice 06-26-2006, 12:27 PM If it's pasta, I'm in. I love fried raviolis. Brown them in oil, drain and top with a little butter, fresh parsley and grated cheese. :happyface Ireneparalegal 06-26-2006, 12:32 PM i think the term FRIED is throwing people off. You aren't really frying it (like fried chicken) it's more like "warming it up" in a fry pan with a little bit of olive oil. Janice 06-26-2006, 12:57 PM Considering Solomon saw fried spaghetti listed on a restaurant menu, I doubt they were peddling leftovers. There are lots of recipes for fried spaghetti on the web that actually do fry the spaghetti until it's crispy. Much like the fried crispy noodles offered in Thai and Chinese restaurants. Here's one recipe I found. This is one of many. http://www.mealsmatter.org/recipes-meals/recipe/9042 Fried Spaghetti Ingredients 1 lb. Spaghetti, cooked and kept warm 1/2 lb. Bacon, diced 1 Small onion, finely diced 1/4 cup Finely diced green bell pepper 1/4 cup Finely diced red bell pepper 4 Eggs 2 tablespoons Olive oil 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Additional Parmesan cheese for serving Preparation In very large fry pan, cook bacon until crisp. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons fat. Add onions and peppers and saute until soft. Add drained spaghetti (breaking spaghetti in half before cooking helps to distribute it better.) Break eggs into a small bowl and stir, then pour over spaghetti. Mix eggs, vegetables, bacon and ½ cup cheese into spaghetti. Add olive oil to pan, then gently press down on spaghetti and cook until bottom is crispy. Turn spaghetti and cook other side until crispy. (You may need to use two spatulas.) To serve, turn out onto serving platter, or cut into four portions while still in pan and serve on individual plates. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired. Cook's Notes My kids always asked for this dish, and called it "bacon and egg spaghetti." The cooking technique makes it easy to serve and eat without "twirling" the spaghetti.

I think the eggs are probably needed to make it stick together, but I don't want eggs in my pasta.

That sounds pretty good. I had spaghetti for dinner last night, so I may just try this recipe out with the leftovers, minus a few of the ingredients. Man, now you've got me really hungry!! :drool: Ireneparalegal 06-26-2006, 10:19 PM Yeah, or a spaghetti omelette. I think the eggs are probably needed to make it stick together, but I don't want eggs in my pasta. yeah, me neither...i guess if this is FRIED SPAGHETTI, than, I don't want it...YUCK!!!!!!! JNSBSB 06-26-2006, 11:04 PM First it was Fried Turkey, now fried spaghetti?!?!? Disgusting. If you think that's disgusting, try this. Fri-ied ice cream. Yes! Fried Ice Cream. Mmmmmmm! Kazza 06-26-2006, 11:09 PM Yeah, or a spaghetti omelette. I think the eggs are probably needed to make it stick together, but I don't want eggs in my pasta. I've had spaghetti with scrambled eggs and bacon inside. I think it's called 'A la Carbonara'; really yummy!:) swedeace 06-26-2006, 11:12 PM I was telling a co-worker friend about this thread, and she and I were thinking that fried spaghetti has to be compared to goulash or something. Is that true? Also, how is fried ice cream prepared? That also sounds interesting...

Also, how is fried ice cream prepared? That also sounds interesting... I've had fried Ice cream at the fair last yr, and it was pretty good along with a fried twinkie LOL. The Fried Ice cream had some kinda crispy coating on it and it was actually deep fried.

I sort of did my own variation though, and made it a bit healthier, but it was still very good. I fully recommend fried spaghetti!! It's good stuff!!! :D PZelda 06-27-2006, 04:35 AM Yuck!!! My sentiments exactly. I'm not much of a spaghetti fan to begin with...Fried spaghetti just makes me want to barf! Don't get me wrong, spaghetti is good, but I don't like eating stuff that I have to twirl around on my fork. Gimme penne :) BTW, I've had fried ice cream before, a few years ago. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! I don't want the outer layer of my ice cream to be breaded. NAST-AY. I cannot stand breaded food. Ew. TVFactFan 06-27-2006, 10:20 AM I still haven't had a chance to get the fried spaghetti yet but I think I may try it tonight. TVFactFan 06-27-2006, 07:47 PM Tried the Fried Spaghetti Tonight and it tasted HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
