                        Homemade salsa:
   1      28oz can      plum tomatoes -- drained and chopped
   1      4oz can       chopped green chiles
   2      tbsp          onion -- chopped
   2      tbsp          cilantro -- chopped
   1      tsp           red wine vinegar
     1/2  tsp           minced garlic
     1/4  tsp           salt
                        Pie:
   3      tsp           olive oil
   1      c             onion -- chopped
   6      lg            eggs
   3      tbsp          cilantro -- chopped
     1/2  tsp           EACH salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.  Add spaghetti and
cook according to package directions.  Drain in a colander.

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

Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp of the oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick
skillet. Add onion and saute until golden and tender, about 8 minutes. 
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.
