6 oz spaghetti

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and

While pasta cooks, mix Salsa ingredients in a medium bowl until bended.
Let stand at room temperature for flavors to develop.

Scrape into a large bowl, add eggs and beat with a fork or whisk until
blended. Stir in spaghetti, cilantro and salt and pepper.

Heat broiler. Wipe skillet clean, add remaining 2 tsp oil and heat.
Pour in egg mixture, cover and cook over medium-low heat 8 minutes or
until bottom is light golden and only the top remains uncooked. Place
under broiler 1 1/2-2 1/2 minutes or until top is set.

Loosen edges with a rubber spatula. Slide "pie" onto a serving plate,
cut in wedges and serve with the salsa.
