Put a mixture of oil and butter in a skillet and heat to medium/high. Add the spaghetti. Sprinkle with a liberal amount of pepper and with parmesan cheese. Keep turning this over until it is a little browned. I usually break up the spaghetti while doing this. It is so good. We call it fried spaghetti.

Leftover spaghetti is the best! Just put it all on a microwave safe plate, put a little water into the mix, and throw a damp papertowel over the top. This will keep it from splattering, and keep the moisture in. In less than a minute, you have a great meal.
We all want a new meal. But, sometimes leftovers can be soooo good and save some cash.

Heat up leftover spaghetti. The time factor definitely does outweigh preference, especially since by the time I eat, I'm usually starving and want something to satisfy my hunger right away.

Spaghetti is cool.
Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning "thin string" or "twine". The word spaghetti can be literally translated as "little strings".
Spaghetti is cooked by boiling the pasta in water and adding either salt or olive oil. The consistency or texture of spaghetti changes as it is cooked. The most popular consistency is al dente (Italian 'to the tooth'); that is, soft but with texture, sometimes even with bite in the center. Others prefer their spaghetti cooked to a softer consistency. The best dried spaghetti is made from durum wheat semolina. Inferior spaghetti is often found produced with other kinds of flour, especially outside Italy. Fresh spaghetti should be prepared with grade '00' flour.[citation needed]. There are two other variants of spaghetti that require different cooking times. Spaghettini ("thin spaghetti") (also "angel hair spaghetti") takes less time (usually two minutes less) to cook to al dente form than regular spaghetti. There is also spaghettoni ("thick spaghetti") which takes longer to cook. All three types of spaghetti are larger than the other round-rod pastas (like vermicelli).

When you cook spaghetti don't put all the sauce on the pasta only what you will eat at that meal. Then the next day you can cook more noodles and put the leftover sauce on them and a least have fresh pasta and day old sauce is sometimes even better after flavours have mixed together overnight.

Time is a factor, just got home from work and I need to feed my sweet Hubby, 'cuz after the surgery he only can use one hand most of the time! Plus we like leftovers of spaghetti and other food where the sauce tastes mingle the longer they are together.

Definitely cook a real meal. It tastes much better than any leftover stuff. I usually make enough for myself so I have no leftovers and therefore have variety. I get bored easily

It depends on the food itself, like even if I'm rushing for time but the spaghetti sucks, I would still rather cook a meal.
