Spaghetti Pancake

Submitted by Sandaidh

"This is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti, especially when there's enough leftovers for one and a half people, but four or five people to feed. Dehydrated minced onion can be substituted for fresh, and you can use grated Parmesan cheese (canned/bottled or fresh) if desired. Cooking time will actually vary according to how high a heat you use. I'm not sure where I found the original recipe, but I suspect it's in my favorite cookbook again - The Creative Cooking Course, edited by Charlotte Turgeon."

This recipe shocked the heck out of me. I never thought this would be enough for 5 people but it did just that. Everyone loved this and when I have leftover Spaghetti again I know how I'm going to use it. Thanks for sharing this.

My son made spaghetti the other night and cooked way too may noodles so I decided to give this recipe a try. Neat idea! It seemed a little dry but I didn't measure the spaghetti so I "might" have had more than 3 1/2 cups. Gonna try this one again and add some mozzarella.
