You need a heavy bottomed frying pan, some margarine & a little oil. You put the margarine & oil in the bottom of the pan. Toss in the cooked cold spaghetti by handfuls so it isn't all one stuck-together lump. You add some very finely diced onion on top & then cover with a lid (turning the heat down also) so it can fry & steam at the same time. After a bit, you lift the edge & peek underneath. It should be a nice golden brown & crispy. When it is, then you break eggs on top, making sure the yolks spread out. For a large pan, I use at least four eggs.

When the eggs are all spread, then you use a spatula to FLIP the entire thing! The spaghetti usually comes up all in one piece, sometimes in two or three smaller ones.

Now you really keep your eye on it so that you cook it only until the eggs are cooked. You do not want the second side to get crispy.

So, when you serve it, the spaghetti is all crispy & delicious on one side and soft & eggy on the other. It is yuumy!!!
