This is a recipes that I have used for many years. I stumbled on one similar to this and got the idea for this. This is great for leftover pasta!
Ingredients:
Any leftover pasta
Marinara or Spaghetti sauce
cheese
fresh spinach
pepperoni
chopped black olives
chopped bell pepper
chopped mushrooms
chopped red onions
Olive Oil
Directions:
First you will get a frying pan hot. You will then pour a small amount of oil in the pan. Make sure the pan is coated well. Then pour in your leftover pasta. Let it brown on one side before flipping. You want the pasta to stick together. You will then flip it. Let that side brown. Then put some of the marinara or spaghetti sauce on the pasta. Arrange your toppings. Then cover generously with cheese. It will help hold everything together. Place a lid on the pan and let the cheese melt. You are now ready to serve and eat. It is very tasty!
