Scallion Spaghetti Pancakes

Scallion Pancakes will never be the same after trying this. Using spaghetti, these fried cakes use Colavita Olive Oil to make a special variation on a old favorite that is freshly seasoned with oregano, parmesan cheese, and parsley.

 1 lb Colavita Spaghetti
 2 eggs
 4 scallions (trim away top greens and bottom roots)
 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (plus more for sprinkling)
 1 tsp dried red chili flakes
  cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus additional for sprinkling
 zest of half lemon or 1 teaspoon lemon juice
 ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
 ½ tsp salt
 Colavita Olive Oil for pan frying
Optional:
 Add in the Caramelized Spring Onions to the egg mixture

1

Boil the pasta in salted water for about 8 to 10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is boiling, crack the egg into a large bowl and whisk. Add the scallions, oregano, chili flakes, parmesan cheese, and lemon zest and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Drain the pasta and add to the egg mixture. Stir well to ensure all pasta is coated.

4

Pour two tablespoons of oil in a skillet and heat it over medium heat.

5

Use a fork to place a tablespoon or two of the pasta mixture onto the pan.

6

Swirl the pasta in the pan with a fork to form a flat circle—feel free to use your finger!

7

Fry it on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until you’ve used the entire spaghetti mixture.

8

Once done cooking, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and more fresh parsley.

Serve hot!
