Easy Fried Spaghetti

Step 1

Put the water on to boil for the spaghetti and salt with a heavy pinch of salt. Prep your ingredients (chop the onions, seed and chop the tomatoes, grate the cheese).

Step 2

Add the olive oil to a large non-stick frying pan or wok and heat on high. When it's sizzling hot, add the chopped onions.

Step 3

Stir the onions quite frequently, for about 5-8 minutes. They should start to brown evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes and the salt. Turn the heat down to medium-high. (you can probably add your spaghetti to the pot with water now and cook for 10-11 minutes).

Step 5

Stir the tomato-onion mixture often, making sure nothing burns until the tomatoes are broken down (about 5 minutes).

Step 6

Drain the spaghetti and quickly add to the hot pan with the tomatoes and onions. Turn the heat up to high. Use spaghetti tongs to thoroughly mix and coat the spaghetti with the broken down tomatoes and onions.

Step 7

Add in a third of the cheddar and use the tongs again to mix thoroughly. Let it sit for two minutes without stirring to crisp up some of the bits on the bottom.

Step 8

Add in another third of the cheese, toss well, and leave two minutes without stirring. Repeat with the final third of the grated cheddar. After the final two minutes of cooking, check if it's crispy enough to your liking. If you'd like it crispier, toss the spaghetti again and leave to sit until it's crispy enough to your liking.

Step 9

Test for salt and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
