Pizza di Spaghetti Recipe (a recipe for leftover spaghetti)

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still melting well.

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat and calories.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Canned mushrooms are less expensive and add texture.

Beat the eggs, milk, and cheese together in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Add leftover spaghetti to the egg mixture and mix well using hands.

If using meat, add cooked meatballs (made with hamburger meat, mozzarella, bell pepper, onion, seasoning, and breadcrumbs) to the spaghetti mixture and blend well.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add the spaghetti and egg mixture to the skillet, spreading evenly and pressing down.

Cook for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

Loosen the edges of the mixture with a spatula and cut into quarters.

Flip each quarter carefully and cook for another 6 minutes until browned on the other side.

Let cool before serving and cut into wedges.
