Fried Spaghetti Pizza


Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound leftover spaghetti {leftover meaning it has been coated in the sauce of your choice}
4 ounces mozzarella cheese – sliced
2 roma tomatoes – sliced
•4-6 fresh basil leaves

Directions:

Into an oven proof frying pan add 2 tablespoons oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti and press down with a spatula. Allow spaghetti to cook until golden brown.

Carefully place a plate over the top of the spaghetti and with an oven mitt or kitchen towel invert the plate {there could be remaining oil and you don’t want to burn yourself or ruin your clothes }. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and return spaghetti to pan. Press down with spatula and allow to cook until golden brown.

Preheat oven broiler to high. Arrange sliced mozzarella onto spaghetti “pizza”. Add tomatoes and place under broiler.  Cook until cheese is bubbly.  Remove from oven and garnish with basil leaves.
