Makes 1 12-inch round

Yield

Ingredients

1/2 pound leftover cooked spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 - 1/2 cup prepared tomato sauce
Grated Parmesan cheese
2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly lengthwise

Directions

1. Toss pasta with tomato sauce just to completely coat. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl in olive oil. Add pasta in one layer. Do not move -- leave it to crisp to a golden brown on one side, about 10-15 minutes. Turn onto plate. Top with grated Parmesan and cut into wedges. Serve with carrot slices on the side.

I have not made this yet but I do make a similar version that I have made for years and it started way back when I was a child and my father made this for us when we were children; (and I make it for my son now) and in a cast iron skillet best yet! I will make this version this weekend and follow-up with a review. Thanks Lucinda. :)

Nice!! ...but I must admit that I was frying cheddar cheese slabs in a skillet 30 years ago. Love that flavor and the pasta enhances the flavors! Thanks for reviving a memory!
