Spaghetti---what can't ya do with it?

spaghetti noodles are so versatile ---yes there's the usual way with the tomato sauce or the white sauce or creamy tomato sauce---but there is so much more

I like to use them in pasta salads---sometimes I break them in fours-say if it's my Chinese salad---basically it's pasta---almonds---chicken---celery---Chinese canned noodles and Asian dressing---

once again--I like to fry my spaghetti---using leftover pasta---adding peas or other vegetables---and chicken stock---oh and a bit of heavy cream---great side or main dish-

they are great in soups and stews----also break them several times for best results-

frittatas are super with spaghetti as the base--again adding whatever you like to your eggs---I really enjoy tomato and green pepper---and some cheese is nice too-

you can make a wonderful tuna casserole using spaghetti noodles---just add a cream soup---canned mushrooms and onion---top it with buttered bread crumbs sprinkled with tarragon-

but probably my favorite way to use spaghetti is in my baked spaghetti----make sure you don't cook it too long first----add your best sauce----with or without meat----lots of cheeses---I like to use a blend of Italian cheese----cream cheese and ricotta-----topping it with cheddar cheese----to finish it off I add to the very top during the last ten minutes or so---either green pepper and onion or black olives and fresh tomato---always a great night's meal---
