ginandcrumpets – please, PLEASE make a misfits pasta pie.

Jonathan – Yes! I look forward to your posts about your new tiny kitchen!

Johanna – only one way to find out…

Lizzie – Oh I know. We are equal in our love of pasta I think. I am suspicious of anyone who isn’t, quite frankly.

Ailsa – They are next on my list. A wonderful idea.

Bellini Valli – You are one of those people who has leftover pasta?! Are you an army chef?

An American in London – It’s a wonderful way to eat our carby friend isn’t it? I am in love with it.

Gastrogeek – Oh I do love that suggestion. Deep fry it. You crazy kid.

Ollie – Sounds yum! It’s variations ahoy with a recipe like this.

Cool idea. I used to do a version with noodles, soy, chicken, coriander etc years ago, which was lovely too.

Double cream and eggs, like music to my ears….and good point about the army chefs(!) I wonder if you could deep fry it…..?

Learning to make a frittata at a cooking class in Florence was revelatory, and since that moment, Jon and I have often thrown leftover pasta of any shape, size and sauce into beaten eggs and then baked it into a frittata. It’s a staple in our home, and you’re right the key is oil. : ) I like the looks of your spaghetti cake because you were more sparing with the eggs than we normally are, so I’ll have to give this variation a try.

I have tried a more simplified version of this Helen. It is an excellent way to use any leftover pasta, sauce and all.

I’ve never done this with spaghetti, but I have made crispy noodle cakes – similar thing, but fried in a pan. This looks great, I love crispy baked edges.

Brilliant! I have a deep love of pasta (especially spaghetti) so this is definitely getting tried.

looks delicious – I am always looking for spaghetti inspiration – wonder how a bit of roast pumpkin would go in it – mmmmm

Bonkers. But I like it. Might have to cook it in my tiny, very basic kitchen.

Although we never have leftover cooked spaghetti, we do have the giant pasta tub in the corner of our kitchen. Every time anyone fancies pasta for dinner, they buy a packet of their favourite pasta. We like different pasta shapes, so there’s about 3 kilos of assorted pasta in the tub at any one time. Perhaps I could starting combining them for a Mishapes Pasta Pie?
