- In a nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the edges start to brown.
- Flip the frittata by sliding it onto a large plate or tray then carefully inverting it back into the pan. Continue to cook for 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Remove from pan then cut into wedges and serve. This is delicious served warm or at room temperature.
- (You may also add about 1/2 cup of leftovers such as cubed meat or diced sauted vegetables mixing and matching to suit your taste. Some of my favorites are ham and Swiss, or chicken and cheddar with a tablespoon or so of canned green chilies. Be creative, find your own then share the results).
SIMPLE FRITTATA
Steps:
- In a bowl mix pasta with eggs and cheese of choice; season with salt and pepper and herbs or scallions. In a non-stick skillet heat the olive oil. Add the beaten eggs and pasta. Lower the heat and cook stirring frequently until eggs have solidified and frittata is firm except for the top. To give color to the top, run the skillet under a broiler for a few moments, just until the top is brown. Let frittata rest, then invert a plate over skillet; turn skillet upside down and frittata will slide onto plate. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges and garnish with black olives.

PASTA FRITTATA
This dish is one recipe calling for leftover pasta that is actually worth planning for. It's portable, it's endlessly versatile, and it's practically foolproof. Substitute almost any cheese for the Parmesan (or leave it out altogether) and toss in any cooked vegetable or meat. Make it your own. One last bit of advice from Mr. Bittman: "The key to extreme enjoyment is to make sure that some ends of pasta pieces protrude from the top of the mixture when you put it in the oven. They will become crunchy, giving the leftover pasta yet one more pleasant dimension."

Steps:
- If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
- In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.
