Crispy Leftover Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1 bowlful leftover pasta in tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more if needed)

Steps

  1. 1

    Pour some extra virgin olive oil into a nonstick frying pan, or wok, over medium high heat, and add the pasta.

  2. 2

    Add a little more oil over the top of the pasta, and let it begin to sizzle for a few minutes before stirring it.

  3. 3

    Every now and then, turn the pasta; depending on how crispy you want it, leave it longer without turning it for a crispier result.

  4. 4

    It's ready when it's hot, so it's a matter of taste to decide when to stop cooking it. I love it very crispy, so I let it cook longer. (It is excellent most any kind of pasta.)
