PASTA FRITTATA



Pasta Frittata image

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."

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine or other long pasta (or about 1/2 pound cooked pasta)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced pancetta, bacon or prosciutto, optional
6 eggs
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

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.

Provided by Thorsten

Categories     Beans

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb gravad salmon, according to Salmon Trilogy (Part II): Gravad Salmon, can be replaced by canned Salmon
5 ounces spaghetti
10 ounces green beans
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
6 eggs
1 cup low-fat milk
5 tablespoons cream
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti al dente according to package directions. Only drain spaghetti, do not rinse.

  • Put eggs, milk and cream into a small bowl and mix. Add Salmon and pepper. Mix.
  • In an oven-proofed pan (10 inch in diameter and hight enough) cook onion in olive oil on medium high heat until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • If necessary: cut Green Beans into pieces.
  • Add Green Beans, Spaghetti and Salmon-milk-mixture to onions and mix well. NOTE: The Frittata will not be stirred during cooking. So this mixture should have the "final look".
  • Cover pan with a lid or aluminium foil and cook for 25 minutes on low heat. Do not stirr. The border of the Frittata should become dry (like an omelet).
  • Meanwhile preheat Grill in oven (480 F, 250 C).
  • After cooking, remove lid from pan and put Frittata under Grill. Bake Frittata until surface is cooked and slightly brown coloured (about 5 to 10 minutes).

  • Detach Frittata from the pan. Invert Frittata over a plate larger than the pan and let Frittata slid onto plate.
  • Cut Frittata in wedges and serve with a green salad.
  • VARIATIONS: You can also use canned Salmon or Thuna for this recipe, but you have add salt to taste. You can replace Green Beans by peas. You can use any other Pasta.

Add the bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and sage and cook until the onion is translucent and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Add the pasta and toss to distribute the ingredients evenly. Gently pour in the egg mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a silicone spatula and slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Make the salad Whisk together the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Put the radicchio, arugula, and shallot in a large bowl and toss with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Season with 1/2 tsp. sea salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Sprinkle more black pepper on the frittata. Slice and serve with additional pecorino and the salad.

PASTA FRITTATA



Pasta Frittata image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine or other long pasta (or about 1/2 pound cooked pasta)
1 Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced pancetta, bacon or prosciutto, optional
6 eggs
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

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.

Tips:

  • For a fluffy frittata, beat the eggs and milk together until light and foamy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the frittata before cooking, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Pasta frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover pasta, and it's also a great option for a quick and easy meal. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a pasta frittata recipe that everyone will enjoy.
