Pasta Nests in Muffin Tins

I love these for using leftover pasta.

 leftover pasta  - spaghetti or fettuccine noodles work best
     (I used bowtie  pasta and it didn't work as well, but was good!)
1 egg (slightly beaten) per 3 cups of pasta
filling - your choice, just make sure it's thick and not very liquid:  
  • a bit of tomato sauce, cooked onions, carrots, olives, ground beef (Don't put tomatoes - too much liquid.)
  • salt, pepper, oregano to taste
shredded cheese
  1. In a bowl, stir together the pasta and the eggs.
  2. Grease the muffin tins with oil, then make a "crust" in the bottom and going up the sides with the pasta.  Push it down carefully.  Make it medium-thick.
  3. Spoon in your filling - don't put too much. 
  4. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven until a bit golden on top -  shouldn't take more than 5 or 6 minutes or so.
  5. Take out of oven and sprinkle the cheese on top.  Then put back in oven until cheese has melted.
  6. Let cool (slightly) before eating.​
