Pesto Pasta Frittata image

Almost any sauced pasta will work will here: marinara! puttanesca! carbonara! The only sauces not invited are cream-based ones-sorry, Alfredo.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk or cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (about 4 ounces) cooked pasta
¼ cup pesto or Roasted Garlic-Herb Sauce, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat it to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the pasta with the pesto or herb sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other nonstick oven-safe pan) over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then nestle in the pasta.
  • Cook, undisturbed, until the frittata is set around the edges but still looks wet on the surface, about 5 minutes. Slide the frittata into the oven and bake until the top is set, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature, with more pesto or herb sauce on the side.
