Spaghetti hamburger?!?

[OldLady]

So I have got a wild hair up my ass and want to create something fun. So I thought about a spaghetti hamburger. Make a bun out of noodles, patty, mozze cheese, slice of tomato and some of my homemade tomato sauce. My only problem is figuring out how to make the noodles stick good enough to make a usable bun..
I was conversing with my mom about it and she gave me a great idea. Panko!
So i thought on that and figured i would try this : Cook the noodles down and then quarter them. Mix up some panko and some milk and make it REALLY thick. Stir in the noodles and shape them up. Lightly fry. Maybe even broil?
Do you think it will work?

Don't use the panko.

Overcook the pasta, let it cool, form it the way you want, then brush it with an egg wash. Bake this for a few minutes and it will hold it's form.

I say overcook because you don't want it to dry out too much during this process.

Agree. Ever leave spaghetti in the bottom of the colander til it cools? Come back and it's in a congealed lump. As long as it's overcooked, like you said.

My deceased Italian Grandmother will now haunt all of you for what you have done, are doing, or will do to pasta based on this thread.

Is there a wooden spoon emoji?????

Hey, it's no different than cooking corn meal mush and pouring it in a loaf pan to solidify, then slice and fry. The Italians call it polenta, but it's the same thing.

I've made Polenta and Grits both. Sorry, but taking a pre-shaped item and making into a block of solid mush (bleah) would make me turn in my Italian-American Card.

It's almost as bad as putting Ketchup on Pasta.

Don't know what preshaped item you're talking about. You cook it in a pot and then while it's still hot you pour it in the pan and let it cool. You never made or heard of fried polenta? Okay, I'll take your word for it, though.

TNH, just promise to tell us how it turns out. I love your experiments!

I will!

Sounds very strange. So if this is the bun, what will the hamburger middle part be made out of? Will it be as equally odd lol.

Just a regular hamburger patty. Maybe seasoned with salt, pepper parsley and maybe a dash of red wine. And some moz cheese and tomato sauce. Typical spaghetti just unorthodox eating method. lol

Are you going to make this "open face" or expect everyone to cut through two of these spaghetti creations?

I don't want it to be open faced. I want it to be a functional bun. I hope i can make it that way.. lol

THAT won't work. It would be dried out as hell. HaShev has the best idea.

Form the spaghetti into a bun. Why didn't I think of that?

When I cooked Italian food outside last week, it kept falling through the grill.

Oh, I've made it before, but ground cornmeal is not pasta. What TN is doing is Italian Sacrilege.

His idea defeats the whole point.

freaking muffin tray! My first thought was to find a way to hold them together.. i was picturing metal bowls you use when you want to warm up cheese on a patty or something like that. MUFFIN TRAY

Do you have any of these?

No but Oldlady had a good idea to use tuna cans and cut the top and bottom off.

So I have got a wild hair up my ass and want to create something fun. So I thought about a spaghetti hamburger. Make a bun out of noodles, patty, mozze cheese, slice of tomato and some of my homemade tomato sauce. My only problem is figuring out how to make the noodles stick good enough to make a usable bun..
I was conversing with my mom about it and she gave me a great idea. Panko!
So i thought on that and figured i would try this : Cook the noodles down and then quarter them. Mix up some panko and some milk and make it REALLY thick. Stir in the noodles and shape them up. Lightly fry. Maybe even broil?
Do you think it will work?

LOL TN....You hittin' the good stuff or are you pregnant?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Once it's cooked, spaghetti is pretty sticky, anyway, so would you have to use anything that thick? A little egg or flour and liquid, thin like. Form and stick in the fridge to firm up, then fry?
Broiling won't work.
I had a boss years ago that would "fry" her left over spaghetti for breakfast the next morning, and it was awesome.

that is what I was thinking. Think of how plain spaghetti sticks together when cooled, to me I would think the panko would actually be counter productive, creating a barrier for the natural stickiness of pasta.
I would tmake spaghetti in salty water, drain it and pour it out on a cookie sheet at about the thickness you want. Refrigerate and then take a biscuit cutter to cut a round "clump" and fry it...preferably in liquid gold...you know..bacon fat!
My instincts tell me this would work

I am always trying to come up with different things to do. Even if my crazy shit comes out bad, i learned something new.

When I get bored with cooking I'll go find a very complicated and involved recipe and give it a try.
I've also been thinking about trying some ancient recipes that can be found on the internet.
There's actually cook books that feature them.

There are several recipes online that tell you how to make noodle buns.

yes. lewdog posted a link to one. Took away half of my excitement lol

Try Super Glue to keep the noodles together. You might know Super Glue is sometimes used by troops in combat as an emergency measure to close heavily bleeding wounds until proper aid can be rendered. If it will hold two surfaces of bloody flesh together then it should be a breeze for it to keep noodles in a wad.

Make a thick Bechamel with Gruyere cheese which is Mornay sauce. It will hold your pasta together. Then put a portion into a large mold like a 6" biscuit cutter on top of a buttered flat top. You will be fine with that.
