Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups dried macaroni noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 brown onions (for Australians) or 1 yellow onion, finely chopped (for Americans)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled, finely diced
1 small red pepper, finely diced
2 cups cooked chicken, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
8 eggs
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following the packet directions, until tender; drain.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a medium heat; add the onion, garlic and carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft; add the red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 1 minute; then transfer the contents of the pan to a large bowl.
  • Add the chicken, thyme, parmesan, parsley and pasta to the onion mixture; whisk the eggs in a large jug and add them to the pasta mixture; stir until well-combined and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a medium heat and add the pasta mixture to the hot pan; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the contents of the pan for 8-10 minutes or until the frittata has set around the edges. The centre should still be slightly soft.
  • Preheat a grill on a medium heat and place the pan under the grill; cook the frittata for 4-5 minutes or until it is golden and set.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with crusty rolls and a salad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my frittata didn't turn out well. It was too dry and the flavors were bland.

This frittata was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more cheese or milk next time.
