Fried Spaghetti (Arañitas de spaghetti)

We try as much as we can to re-invent any leftovers that we have of anything or I should say everything.

I certainly can't take the credit for the originality of this recipe as it is something that I had heard long time ago, yet I will say I have done this recipe a number of times never based on a recipe and never the same as before. I use what I have at the moment and most of the time they are different from the ones made before. So don't let the ingredients stop you from making arañitas.

Ready in: 15 Minutes (4 prep, 16 cook)

Ingredients

• Leftover Pasta (spaghetti or angel hair pasta preferably)
• Garlic to taste (about 1tsp for every 2 cup of pasta)

• Salt to taste (Optional)
• 1/2 cup Pepper jack cheese per every 2 cups of pasta (Optional)
• 1 egg per every 2 cups of pasta
• Bread crumbs (about 1tbs for every cup of pasta
• Frying oil and frying pan

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together
2. Place frying pan in stove and add frying oil, wait till it's hot (If you have a deep frying pan is much better)
3. using a fork take small portions of the pasta mix and start placing them in the frying pan.
4. Let the pasta (arañitas) fry until golden brown, flipping them as needed.
