Best 6 Recycled Pasta Patties Recipes

RECYCLED PASTA PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. The pasta I used for this dish was leftover from supper the night before and this is what it was: linguine with a butter, garlic and fresh grated Parmesan sauce with sliced Italian sausage links. This is a "feel as you go" type of recipe, the amount of eggs and bread crumbs used to bind it will depend on the amount of pasta you have.
• 2. Bread crumb mixture: I ended up using 4 c of bread crumbs to about 1 c of jar Parmesan and 1 1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash tomato and basil seasoning.
• 3. I chopped up my cold pasta and sausage (about 4 c), then placed in a bowl and added 3 eggs and about 1/2 c of bread crumb mixture. You will want to start with just egg(s)and mix well with pasta. When it feels good and coated add bread crumb mixture a little at a time until the pasta starts sticking together. Form a patty.
• 4. Then coat your patty with the bread crumb mixture.
• 5. Fry in about 2" of oil over med-med high heat, flipping once to brown on each side.

BEEF PATTIES

Steps:

• To make the pastry, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and curry powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl. Working quickly and using your fingertips, squeeze together the flour mixture and butter and toss it together by scooping under the mixture with both hands. When the mixture resembles a very coarse meal, add the water to the bowl.
• With floured hands, mix and squeeze the dough just until it forms a ball. Knead it once or twice to combine it fully (the less kneading, the better). Spread the dough into 2 pieces, flattening each into a thick pancake. Wrap in plastic and set them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. (The dough will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Remove it from the refrigerator a few minutes before using it.)
• For filling, mix together the beef, onion, scallions, garlic, peppers, and thyme in a large bowl. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until it is very hot, and add the beef mixture. Fry until the meat is brown and the moisture is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring occasionally over high heat, allowing a crust to form on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the water and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom to incorporate the browned crust. Add the breadcrumbs and stir. The consistency should be like a thick stew. Add more water as needed. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 15 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each piece of the dough into 9 pieces. Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll out each piece of pastry into a rectangle shape with rounded edges. Spread a large spoonful of the cooled meat mixture over one side of the dough, leaving at least 1/2- to 3/4-inch border on the outside edge. Using your finger, paint water around the border. Fold the other side of the dough over, and roll and crimp the edges. Lightly press a floured fork around the edge of the patty.
• Place the patty onto a cookie sheet and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough. The patties may be covered in plastic and frozen at this point for later use. Brush each patty with the egg wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties begin to turn a golden color.

ANGEL HAIR PATTIES

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
• While pasta is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook carrots, basil, salt and spinach in oil about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are crisp-tender. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet; keep warm.
• Mix pasta, eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Shape pasta mixture into 4 patties, each 1 inch thick. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes, until golden brown.
• Top patties with vegetable mixture and spaghetti sauce.

LEFTOVER STUFFING PATTIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place leftover stuffing in a mixing bowl. Stir in beaten egg until evenly combined.
• Scoop 1/2 cup of mixture up and form a patty. Place patty on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat 3 more times until you have 4 patties.
• Place baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook 5 minutes more or until desired browning is achieved.

HOMEMADE PASTA

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add eggs, water and oil to well; mix thoroughly. (If dough is too dry, mix in enough water to make dough easy to handle. If dough is too sticky, gradually add flour when kneading.)
• Gather dough into a ball. On lightly floured surface, knead 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth and springy. Cover with plastic wrap or foil. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts. On lightly floured surface, roll one-fourth of dough at a time into rectangle, 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick (keep remaining dough covered). Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds. Cut crosswise into 2-inch strips for lasagna, 1/4-inch strips for fettuccine or 1/8-inch strips for linguine. Unfold and gently shake out strips. Hang pasta on pasta drying rack or arrange in single layer on lightly floured towels; let stand 30 minutes or until dry. (If using pasta machine, pass dough through machine until 1/16 inch thick.)
• In 6- to 8-quart saucepan, heat 4 quarts water (salted if desired) to boiling; add pasta. Boil uncovered 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until firm but tender. Begin testing for doneness when pasta rises to surface of water. Drain pasta.
