These are inspired by Jamie Oliver from his book Jamie's Italy , he writes about being served these fritters made from spaghetti with pork in a broth. The first time I made these I pretty much followed the recipe, but today I've winged it a bit. I love that these are made with pasta, something my children eat a lot of, but served in a different way. I've adapted the recipe to what I had available, my very favourite type of cooking.
These are really simple and quick to make. I broke up a handful of dried spaghetti and cooked in some boiling water with just a sprinkle of stock powder. Then i whisked 2 eggs together in a bowl, and added a handful of cheese (Jamie uses parmesan, I've used just normal cheddar)
I added chopped ham and some cooked frozen sweetcorn and peas, a teaspoon of mixed herbs and the cooked pasta.
I dropped spoonfuls of the mixture into a frying pan and fried until cooked golden brown on both sides.
We served with ketchup to dip it into, eating with our hands!
If you wish you can omit the stock, and add whatever is hiding in your fridge instead of the ham and veg I used: leftover chicken, peppers, mushrooms. ..whatever takes your fancy.
