Ingredients (Serves 4-6):
- 2 cups cooked pasta (spaghetti, penne, or any pasta)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Optional additions: diced ham, cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, or herbs
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in any optional additions like ham or vegetables.
-
Combine with Pasta:
- Add the cooked pasta to the egg mixture and toss to coat evenly.
-
Cook on the Stovetop:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the pasta and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
-
Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
-
Bake the Frittata:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Leftover Pasta: This recipe works great with sauced or plain pasta. If using sauced pasta, adjust the seasonings.
- Skillet Choice: Use a cast iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet to easily transition from stovetop to oven.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
