We highly recommend making this great frittata recipe for your next brunch. It's filled with sauteed vegetables and pasta. We opted to add shrimp to the recipe but cubed chicken would be tasty too. There are a few steps to this recipe, but completely worth it. Very hearty, this frittata is a complete meal. A creative way to cook...

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
2 c packed baby spinach
1/2 c button mushrooms, thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 c spaghetti, angel hair or thin, cooked
2 Tbsp milk
8 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
1/2 c grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp sliced fresh basil
1 c cooked shrimp or chicken (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (F). Warm oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion, zucchini, squash, and mushrooms. Cook for 2- 3 minutes, stirring.
3. Add garlic, tomato, and spinach. Cook an additional 2 - 3 minutes, stirring, until spinach wilts.
4. Add optional shrimp or chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Toss in the spaghetti.
6. Mix thoroughly so vegetables and pasta are evenly distributed.
7. Whisk milk, shredded Parmesan, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper with eggs. You can add other spices. I like pepper flakes.
8. Pour egg mixture into skillet and swirl to coat vegetables and spaghetti with the mixture. Cook 1 minute, stirring until eggs begin to set on the bottom of the skillet.
9. Pour into a 9X9 Pyrex dish.
10. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top and place in oven.
11. Bake until eggs have set in the center (10 to 12 minutes).
12. Turn on broiler to high and broil frittata until golden brown on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent it from burning.
13. Remove from oven, sprinkle with basil, cut into squares, and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking.
Cook the frittata over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout.
Don't overcook the frittata, or it will become dry and rubbery.
Garnish the frittata with fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, for extra flavor.
Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.
