CHEESY PASTA FRITTATA image

A great way to use leftover pasta and this recipe is so easy to add different vegetables and/or cheeses that you could make it differently each time if you like....I have added bacon, ham ,pancetta,etc and it is great.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c chopped peppers (or onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, scallion, etc)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
6 eggs
1/4 c milk
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 c cooked fettucine or spaghetti chopped up a bit
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese(or your favorite cheese...i love it with pepper jack or swiss when i make it with ham in it)
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat broiler. In cast iron skillet(or one that you can use under the broiler safely) over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter until melted and foamy. Add bell pepper or whatever vegetable you are using; cook over medium heat until crisp tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat together eggs with milk, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and basil. Add pasta to egg mixture and stir gently. Add egg mixture to skillet; arrange pasta in an even layer.
  • 3. Cook egg mixture over medium heat, lifting sides occasionally to let uncooked egg flow underneath. When egg mixture is almost set but still very moist, after about 5-8 minutes, top with shredded cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • 4. Place pan under broiler, about 4-5" from heat source, and cook for 5-10 minutes until frittata is puffed, set, and beginning to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and cut into wedges; serve immediately.

This frittata was a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

I followed the recipe exactly and my frittata turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more cheese and herbs next time.
