Getting Creative with My Leftovers!

With only 2 people in the house, leftovers are an unavoidable part of life so I've learned to get really creative with them. Tonight, I've turned my Chicken Carbonara into Spaghetti Pie and boy, was it yummy! This recipe works for basically any type of leftover pasta dish and it's really easy too.




Ingredients:


2 large eggs
1/4 c whole milk or cream
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 c leftover pasta
1 c shredded Mozzarella


Prep:


1. In a bowl, beat eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.


2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti and egg mixture, spreading evenly and pressing down in pan. Let mixture set for 5 minutes.


3. Invert mixture onto a plate and slide back into pan so that the other side is now being cooked.


4. Scatter mozzarella on top and cook 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted and golden at edges.
