okay guys seriously try this, left over pasta mixed with tomato sauce, heat up some olive oil and fry over medium heat unitl you see the pasta get golden and a bit crispy, not too crispy, but basical when you see the color of the pasta change to oil. only do this if you have experience sauteing/frying food. you have to make sure the oild is hot enough (not too hot though) so the noodles don't soak up the oil. also i only recommend doing this with pasta with leftover tomato sauce. also keep in mind the past has to be cooked correctly in the first place, which many people don't know how to do. this is coming from an italian. i see a similar thing with rice. als keep in mind this is how fried rice is made too, with left over rice not fresh! similar concept!
