How To Revive Leftover Pasta

April 10, 2023

We’ve all cooked too much pasta for dinner at some point. Since microwaving it the next day isn’t particularly appetizing, it is possible to revive leftover pasta in a frying pan the next day. Here is a simple recipe to do that:

Ingredients:

  • Leftover cooked pasta
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Garlic (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Begin by heating a large frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add a tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the pan.
  3. If you like garlic, add a minced garlic clove to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Add the leftover pasta to the pan and stir to coat it with the oil or butter.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cook the pasta, stirring frequently, until it is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges. This should take about 5-7 minutes depending on the amount of pasta.
  7. Once the pasta is heated through and crispy, remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately.

This recipe is versatile, and you can add additional ingredients like vegetables, meats or cheese to the pasta, depending on your taste. However, remember to reheat leftover pasta to an internal temperature of at least 165°F to kill any bacteria before eating. —Vita Daily
