Breakfast Pasta Pillow

Making good use of leftover food is really important to me.  So I came up with this simple breakfast dish that makes good use of leftover pasta.  It may sound weird and boring, but take it from me it's great!

In a pan over low heat, add a little olive oil, when the oil is hot add a handful of cooked pasta.  Press the pasta down and out to the sides with the back of a wooden spoon, so it's laying flat in the pan.  The idea here is to cook it slow to make sure the pasta is warm but also has a little color and is slightly crunchy.

Add a pinch each of salt and pepper and a pinch of chili flakes.  When it's looking like that side is done flip it over and do the same thing.  This only takes a few minutes to cook.  Now cook an over easy egg.  Plate up the pasta and serve the egg on top of the pasta.  Now add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce...

Warning:  Bacteria grows really fast on cooked pasta, so make sure to cover it and keep it cold.  Don't keep it for more than a day or two!

Bon Appetit!
