Spaghetti Frittata
17/11/2023The spaghetti frittata is a very practical dish and represents a delicious way to use leftover pasta. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
- 200 grams of already cooked spaghetti (preferably al dente)
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams of grated cheese (Parmesan or Pecorino)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter for greasing the pan
- (Optional) chopped parsley, garlic, chili pepper, or other aromas to taste
- (Optional) additions like cooked ham, bacon, diced vegetables, etc.
Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the grated cheese, salt, and pepper. If you wish to add aromatic herbs or other ingredients, do so at this stage.
- Add the already cooked spaghetti to the egg and cheese mixture and mix well to ensure the pasta is completely coated.
- Heat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of olive oil or a piece of butter. Pour the spaghetti and egg mixture into the pan and cook over medium-low heat.
- Once the edges start to turn golden and the bottom seems solid, help yourself with a plate or lid to gently flip the frittata and cook the other side until it is golden brown.
- Once cooked on both sides, the spaghetti frittata is ready to be served.
You can personalize the recipe with what you have in the fridge: add some sautéed vegetables before the pasta or cubes of cheese for an extra touch of flavor. It is a versatile dish that lends itself to many variations. Enjoy your meal!
