Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Two pasta questions that may seem a little wierd: 1) Katherine Hall Page writes culinary mysteries. In a few, her main character makes a dish involving leftover pasta, eggs, and whatever is leftover in her fridge. I think it is a frittata, but haven't been able to find good directions for making this dish. She takes the leftovers, adds whipped eggs (and maybe more,) and then fries it in a skillet. Does anyone have a recipe? 2)Have you ever heard of or made a dish using pasta and fruit? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I don't have the recipe but I looked the author up on the web and the book the recipe is in is The Body in the Bonfire. My library doesn't have it but perhaps yours does. You could try the Goldy Baer Shultz culinary mysteries by Diane Mott Davidson too. One of the characters is vegetarian and all the recipes (with cooking directions) are included in the books. k_waverly <doris wrote: Two pasta questions that may seem a little wierd: 1) Katherine Hall Page writes culinary mysteries.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 FRIED SPAGHETTI 2 Tbs. Olive Oil 1 - 2 cloves Garlic (minced or sliced as preferred) Seasoning salt to taste 2 eggs ( well beaten) 1 container of leftover spaghetti or any other left over pasta type stuff - no reference to any boxed stuff here.... (2 cups of cooked spaghetti) It needs to have been refrigerated in the sauce at least over night... Seems to work MUCH better! Grated Romano cheese or Parmesan cheese (Preferably fresh) to taste Heat the pan with the olive oil in it and throw the garlic in. Sprinkle a little of the seasoning salt and parmesan on the pasta, add eggs and stir. Add mixture to the hot oil. Pat it down slightly with a spatula to ensure an even layer is touching the pan When it is all a nice brown color flip it and brown the other side. Slide it onto a plate and cover with grated cheese... Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have indeed made frittatas before but I don't know if I do it " right " . I make it pretty much like an omlette but I don't fold it like I usually do with omlettes and I finish it off in the oven. I cook up some onions, garlic, mushroom, and whatever I have on hand in a non-stick pan using non-stick spray. Then you can add either leftover baked or steamed potatoes which have been sliced OR left over pasta, pour a scrambled egg mixture over the top and let it cook until the bottom is browned. I pull it away from the sides and make slashes in the cinter to cook the egg but you don't " scramble it " . I finish it off in the oven to finish cooking the top. You can put cheese on it at that time. I have also made this terrific pasta salad with whatever pasta you like in your salad, pineapple tidbits, orange segments, seedless grapes, and a sliced up peach. For the dressing I used: about 3/4 cup plain yogert, 1/3 cup mayo, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, a little grated lemon peel and a sprinkle of salt. My sisters vegetarian kids love it. Stef Argue not with dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with brie. The best gets better. See why everyone is raving about the All-new Mail.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 What she is referencing is called fried spagehti. A frittata is an Italian omlet. We eat fried spag every week. It is super yummy. I posted a recipie for it this morning.
