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!

Goddesscy.Com
I know this is off subject, but it's very good. I stumbled on an interesting new site today:Goddesscy. I thought they were quite neat because they are similar to MySpace, but have a little more to offer. This site is geared more toward women. There are all sorts of polls that I noticed too. You can even vote on who has the best clothes, hair, shoes, and many more items. It is very interesting to see a site like MySpace that is more women friendly. I particularly like the fact that we can tell our favorite places to eat and also what hotel to stay at during a vacation. If I were you I would definitely sign up for Goddesscy because it has so much to offer.
Another interesting thing on their site is that there is a dating portion. You can add as many people as you want and respond to who you want to. The only part that costs you is the response back to emails. It isn't that expensive if you want to find a good date at just 75 cents an email response. They are a lot cheaper than any other dating sites. If you are looking to get into the dating scene I would definitely check this site out, even to my male readers, the girls pictures are posted. So check out Goddesscy today.
