After reading the post I was pretty inspired and decided to make use of the leftover spaghetti we had from a previous night and wanted to make myself a Frittata. If you aren’t familiar with the Frittata there are a bunch of different variations, but I’m most familiar and accustomed to one made out of leftover spaghetti or any similar noodle. In the case of leftover spaghetti you can make yourself a pretty great frittata in any size (the smaller it is the easier it is to flip) and make use of those leftovers you have. I honestly didn’t use much of a recipe so I will recommend if you don’t like flying by the seat of your pants cooking, you can check out a Spaghetti Frittata recipe off of Allrecipes.com. With mine I used some eggs, salt, pepper, and some fresh basil along with my pasta and that was about it. I have to say this is my first successful one, I’ve had some issues in the past where I simply haven’t put enough egg or put enough oil on the frying pan and let’s just say the past a didn’t hold together, it stuck to the pan and it just didn’t taste very good. So leaving this on a good note, this one turned out great but still didn’t taste like my nonna’s (i’m not sure if it ever will..)

Other Leftover Recipes/Food Ideas

Now I’m not talking about using leftover salad, because even I don’t like touching that soggy mess. BUT there are a few leftover meal items that you can definitely use to add a little bit extra to your greens (fresh greens that is)

• Leftover Stirfry-Add heated up leftover stirfry on top of a salad for an added twist
• Leftover meats-Chop up meats in small bite sized pieces and place on top of salads

Also I have to say that I do like cold cuts but there is another alternative especially if you have leftover chicken breast. Cut chicken breast so you have thin flat slices and use it instead of cold cuts. It makes you look like a serious sandwich boss and it also tastes great.

Or if your leftovers are just a complete meal you’re pretty much set, just heat up (if that’s your thing) and enjoy.

Are you a fan of leftovers? Do you have a favourite leftover recipe?
