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.

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 was a good basic frittata recipe. I would add more vegetables next time to make it more flavorful.

Overall, this was a decent frittata. I would probably make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less cheese or a different type of cheese.

I wasn't a fan of the texture of the pasta in the frittata. I think I would have preferred to use rice or potatoes instead.

My frittata turned out a little dry. I think I should have added more milk or cream.

Not bad for a first attempt! I'll have to try it again with a different type of cheese.

I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to my frittata and it turned out great! Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of recipes.

This was a quick and easy meal to make. I used whole wheat pasta and reduced fat cheese to make it a little healthier.

This frittata was a hit with my family! The pasta added a nice texture and the cheese was gooey and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
