Description

Super flavorful crispy grain-free spaghetti fritters! These are one of my absolute favorite ways to revive spaghetti leftovers. Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, High Protein, High Fiber, SCD-friendly.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1, 8 oz. box of grain-free spaghetti (see above for what I use)
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup grated aged parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp. crushed parmesan crisps (or grain-free bread crumbs)
  • 3 tbsp. finely diced red onion
  • about 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, to pan fry

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Break the dried grain-free spaghetti in half and cook for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Stir frequently. 
  2. Drain and rinse the spaghetti under cold water to stop it from over-cooking. Set it aside.
  3. Combine the cooked spaghetti, whisked eggs, oregano, parsley, garlic, paprika, coconut flour, grated parmesan, parmesan crisps, diced red onion, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Carefully mix with a fork to prevent the spaghetti from breaking.
  4. Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle enough olive oil in the pan so that the bottom is coated.
  5. Using a fork, transfer the spaghetti mixture from the bowl to the hot pan in small clusters. Slightly twist the fork to form fritters. You will only be able to cook about 4-5 fritters at a time.
  6. Cook the fritters for about 4 minutes on each side before flipping.
  7. As other batches cook, keep the fritters warm on a baking sheet under aluminum foil. Serve warm with sauce of choice!  

Notes

If you are using leftover cooked spaghetti, skip steps 1 & 2. Adjust other ingredients based on what you have leftover from a full package.
