Yield
Serves: 2
Preparation
Boil 8 ounces dried spaghetti in pot of boiling water according to package instructions (or until al dente, about 9 minutes).
Drain and rinse in a colander under cool running water. Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the noodles to a medium bowl; cover and refrigerate remaining noodles (for Noodle Mini Quiches).
Add a handful of halved cherry tomatoes (about 14 or 2/3 cup) and about 2/3 cup cubes low-moisture mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the pasta. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil vinaigrette or purchased Italian dressing, season with salt and pepper, and toss to blend.
Pack into serving container. Put 1/8 cup breadcrumb topping in a separate container (so they dont get soggy before lunch).
For the Herbed Breadcrumbs:
Process 2 slices crustless sandwich bread in processor until crumbs form.
Heat 1 teaspoon EVOO in a small skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs (about 1/8 cup) and a pinch of dried oregano or Italian herb blend and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 6-8 minutes. Serve with the Spaghetti Salad and reserve the rest for the Cock-a-Doodle Skewers.
