A sensational way to turn dull, dried up leftover pasta into something ridiculously delicious. You can use any type of pasta to make these. This is a sensational fast meal - it will take you 15 minutes to make 12 of them if you use a large fry pan so you can cook them in 2 batches. Inspired by Hapa Nom Nom's Spaghetti Pizza.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comRoughy chop the pasta (I placed the pasta in a bowl and cut it with scissors).
Add the eggs, breadcrumbs (start with 3/4 cup) and cheese. Mix and add salt and pepper to taste.
Scoop up a ball and flatten it slightly to test if it holds together ok. If required, add more panko. (Note 3)
Heat olive oil in a fry pan over medium high heat.
Scoop up a level 1/3 cup of the mixture (packed well) and place in the fry pan (tap the bottom of the cup to get the mixture to drop out into the pan). Use the bottom of the cup measure to pat the mixture into 1 cm / 2/5" thickness. Repeat to make however many fritters you can fit in the pan.
Cook the first side for around 2 minutes or until it turns a dark brown and crispy. Turn, then cook the other side until crispy (around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes).
Remove from the pan onto a paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve immediately. Garnish with finely chopped parsley leaves and freshly grated Parmesan, if desired.
