Print Recipe

A delicious and crispy way to repurpose leftover pasta, these Baked Spaghetti Fritters combine cooked spaghetti with melted cheeses and savory spices for a perfect snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked spaghetti, cooled
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled spaghetti, Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and form it into flat patties.
  4. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  5. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce or sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure the spaghetti is cooled before mixing so the eggs don't scramble.
  • If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs.
  • For best results, chop the cooked spaghetti into smaller strands before mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
