Mmmmmmmm! A perfect use for leftover spaghetti or any pasta! I got this from an old Italian friend. She says, "You haven't had spaghetti until you have had fried spaghetti!" I totally forgot about this recipe!

How To Make fried spaghetti

1
THE DAY BEFORE: Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain & place in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight.

2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheeses, basil, salt, onion & garlic powders, parsley & pepper. Pour the mixture over the spaghetti & toss to coat well.
3
In a large skillet, add olive oil & butter over medium heat. Mix the two around to cover the skillet surface.
4
Add the tossed spaghetti to the skillet & spread across the surface. Do not stir the spaghetti once it covers the surface of the pan, but let it fry on the bottom & heat through. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, until the bottom of the spaghetti is a golden brown, about 5 - 10 minutes (just keep checking.
5
Turn the skillet out onto a serving plate and cut into wedges.
6
Top with additional parmesan cheese, if desired. And serve with Italian Sausage on the side.
