Frittata di Pasta

This frittata is simply, left over spaghetti tossed with eggs and cheese, then slowly fried to a crispy and crunchy texture. It’s so delicious and versatile you can make this dish using any kind of pasta!

During Summertime, we enjoy bringing this frittata to the beach or pool side for family and friends to enjoy as a healthy snack!   So try something new by using something old, turning the left over pasta… into a Frittata the very next day!  Enjoy!

Frittata di Pasta 

• 2 – 3 servings of leftover spaghetti
• 2 eggs – lightly scrambled 
• 3 to 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

In a Bowl.  Using 2 forks,  mix the spaghetti with eggs until the pasta is well coated with the egg mixture.
Add the grated cheese, salt and pepper and mix well again.

In a 10″ Calphalon nonstick omelet pan.  Add the olive oil.
Heat oil for a minute or so. Oil must be Hot! 
Add the spaghetti.
Using the back of the spoon, flatten the spaghetti shaping into an omelet.

Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Using a fork,  lift the omelet to peek under for well done
(should be golden brown).
Using a  large dinner plate,  carefully slide the omelet into the plate and  flip over the omelet back into the    skillet. Simmer for another 15 minutes on low heat.   Remove and cut into pie pieces. Serve !

I enjoy using my Calphalon nonstick omelet pans. They work best for me!  All omelets just slip out easily.

And washing is a breeze as well…..
