The fact that I had leftover pasta for breakfast this morning could be a testament to my belief that pasta tends to taste better on the second day. And if Stanley Tucci<\/a>\u2019s recent TikTok<\/a> post is anything to go by, I\u2019m happily surprised that I may not be alone in this belief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In a March 21 post on his account, the Hollywood star (and one of The Kitchn\u2019s favorite culinary icons<\/a>) gave us a peek into what he made for breakfast, and the main ingredient was indeed leftover<\/a> farfalle (bow tie) pasta. The post, which has garnered more than 3 million views since hitting the platform, sees the Searching for Italy <\/em>star standing in his kitchen with the finished dish that includes additions of saut\u00e9ed garlic, onion, peas, and pancetta. Then jazzing it up with a topping of butter, bechamel sauce, and Parmesan, Tucci transformed a leftover from last night into a casserole ready for today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what it looks like,\u201d he said, taking the dish out of the small oven. \u201cIt\u2019s only 10 o\u2019clock in the morning and I think I\u2019m going to have it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now when it came to my own leftover breakfast pasta, I think I would have let Tucci down as I only reheated my dish and spared all of the additional add-ons. But moving forward, I promise to break out the skillet, baking dish, and extra ingredients the next time I set my mind on enjoying leftover pasta for breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Truthfully though, I\u2019m just happy to know that there is someone else in the world that enjoys leftover pasta as much as I do. And more importantly, that they aren\u2019t opposed to enjoying it for breakfast.<\/p>\n For other Stanley Tucci recipes and inspirations, I highly recommend you checkout his favorite sandwich<\/a>, zucchini pasta<\/a>, and summer beverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
