I am terrible at measuring spaghetti. I always end up with either more or very less. Estimation is not my forte! To my rescue, with this creative way of using left-over cooked spaghetti or pasta I don’t have to worry anymore. If anything, I intentionally cook more spaghetti as a lazy day back-up plan. It is easy peasy to prepare and very filling making it perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner.
