The Spaghetti Bolognese Waffle

Then I had an idea: Can I waffle spaghetti? Can I cook the leftover Bucca di Beppo Spaghetti Bolognese in the waffle iron? How would spaghetti waffles work? How would the pasta stick together?

I hate food waste, so most of our waffle recipe experiments come from trying to use up leftover food in a way that makes a whole new yummy meal.

Needless to say, I have a bit of practice in this realm.

How To Make Spaghetti Waffles

While the waffle iron heated up, I scraped the remaining Spaghetti Bolognese into a bowl, added two eggs, salt, pepper, and oregano, and dug through the refrigerator to see what kind of cheese we had. I found half a bag of shredded Parmesan and I knew that was it. I added all of the Parmesan cheese — about 1/2-2/3 cup — to the bowl and mixed it together really well, until I couldn’t see any inkling that eggs were added.

I then piled all of the spaghetti mixture into the waffle iron, closed the lid, and waited with anticipation. I have to be honest, I was a little worried the cheese would stick and melt to the waffle iron and it was difficult to let it cook without opening the kid a hundred times to check on my spaghetti waffle. But then the waffle iron beeped and it was ready.

Best Waffle Ever

We’ve made a lot of amazing, creative waffles. But…

I can’t even eat dairy, and after one bite, I claimed the entire spaghetti waffle as mine, popped a dairy pill, and ate the whole thing in record time. I wanted more. I needed more. But that was the last bit of leftover pasta we had in the house. I’d be lying if I didn’t think for just a second about placing a Bucca di Beppo take out order for more Spaghetti Bolognese just to make these waffles again.

The eggs worked perfectly to bind the spaghetti together. The added salt, pepper, and oregano added a fresh flavor, and the cheese, oh my goodness, the cheese. The Parmesan cheese did crust up and made this crunchy, delicious outer coating to the spaghetti waffle that was to die for.

Notes:
