~Crunchy Spaghetti Snacks! | Oh Bite It

I do this, kinda, sorta. I just brown 2 - 3 inch lengths of spaghetti in a little oil or can spray and then sprinkle garlic powder, herbs and salt over it in a bowl while it's still hot. It's crunchy and tastes "brown." I guess that's what I'd call it. Yeah, it tastes brown.

Another thing I do is cook it like that, browned, then cook it in water for a few minutes until it is soft, strain it well, and then cover it with a white, cheesy home made sauce. I use whatever cheese is in the fridge. Usually a slice of American, Swiss and a tablespoon or two of Parmesan sprinkles from the can. For some reason, it's pretty good. It would be good with just spaghetti and sauce, but the browned spaghetti has a different texture and a chewiness. And, it tastes brown.

We brown/toast spaghetti and throw them in fried rice. They will soften a bit and taste great. It's also how you can make a copy cat of rice a roni. Good stuff.

Pan fried noodles are the bomb. First time I got them was back in the 1970's when I had my first taste of Hong Kong style lo mein with crispy orange duck.
