Spaghetti Stir Fry Bruschetta Style

This is my first post to Growling Tummies! Pretty excited about it as I just made this last night. Now the twist on this little dish for me was using left overs. The best part is you don't have to or you certainly can if you want too. I had ordered in the night before and had way too much food left over. So, I thought this would be a great way to reuse and make it my own. ;)a xo

Let's get started!

Grab your left over spaghetti dish and set it aside. Take 2 scoops of minced garlic and toss it into a stir fry pan/wok whatever you want to call it. Put it on medium heat and add a splash of your favorite cooking oil.  Stir. Dice some fresh green peppers, one jalapeno and red onion to taste. Take one Portabello mushroom cap cut it into thick slices. Toss all veggies into the pan. Stir to cover veggies with garlic and oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and fresh ground black pepper.

Once your veggies are nice and tender. It's time to add in your cold spaghetti left overs.  If you have meat mixed into your dish, pull these pieces into the pan first to warm more efficiently.  Once you feel the meat is warming up, lower your heat and add the rest of the spaghetti dish. Stir, cover and let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

While this is heating up grab a loaf of your favorite Italian bread. Cut several thinks slices and place on a olive oil coated baking sheet/dish. Cover the bread with butter or brush with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Grab some fresh spinach leaves from the fridge. Pull out the best leaves to place on top of your bread slices. Set this aside while we go check on the Spaghetti Stir Fry.

After a few more stirs this dish should be ready to be scoped on to the bread slices with fresh spinach. Once you have the spaghetti neatly piled high on the bread top with your favorite Italian cheeses and place in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes maybe longer depending how crunchy you like your bread.

Remove from the oven, plate and enjoy! This is nice with a side salad and your favorite red wine.
