Best 5 Pasta Frittata With Mushrooms Recipes

PASTA FRITTATA

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.

PASTA FRITTATA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a medium skillet, melt butter along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and continue stirring for about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add the spaghetti in tomato sauce, prosciutto or other dried cured ham product, cream and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lightly beaten eggs and toss the mixture until it is evenly distributed. .
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large ovenproof or cast iron skillet until shimmering. Swirl to coat sides and pour in the frittata mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook over moderately high heat until the frittata is barely set on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan over the top.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until it is firm in the center and cooked through.
• Remove from oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the frittata from the sides. Place a large round plate or platter over the top of the pan and flip the skillet and platter. Use oven mitts as the skillet will be hot. Serve it cut into wedges, hot or at room temperature.

FRITTATA DI SPAGHETTI (WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook and crumble over medium heat until sausage loses its pinkness, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer this mixture to a large bowl and add the pasta, that is already mixed with the tomato sauce (or unsauced), prosciutto, cream, and a 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the eggs and stir to combine.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in a clean 10-inch, non-stick ovenproof skillet over medium heat (if the skillet is not ovenproof, wrap the handle tightly in aluminum foil). Add the egg mixture and cook over medium heat until the bottom of eggs is set and a light golden brown color appears. (Do NOT over-brown by using too much heat, too fast!).
• Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes, or until eggs are set to desired consistency and begin to puff up a bit. Remove from oven and let rest for about 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with remaining grated cheese, and warm red sauce and sprinkled with shredded basil leaves, if desired.
