Chicken And Pasta Frittata Recipes

EGG PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Add pasta and cook 6 minutes -- to a chewy al dente. Pasta will continue to cook in frittata. Drain and reserve.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over medium high heat. If all of your skillets have rubber handles, cover handle tightly in foil to protect it. Add oil and butter and melt together. Add cream and reduce for about 3 minutes. Add cheese and nutmeg, salt and pepper. Toss sauce with cooked pasta to coat. Add parsley and beaten eggs to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Allow the eggs to set up on the bottom of the pan and become firm. Transfer pan to hot oven and bake 10 minutes, until golden. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter. Serve hot or cold, cutting frittata into wedges and serve with Ham Steaks.
• Heat a large skillet, with olive oil. Add the ham steaks and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• In an ovenproof skillet, saute onion in oil. Add ham and garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Remove and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites. Add cheese, parsley and seasonings. Add the ham mixture and pasta., Coat the same skillet with cooking spray if necessary. Add pasta mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Uncover. Bake at 400° for 13 minutes or until set. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
• In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.

FRITTATA WITH SPINACH, OLIVES AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until frothy.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage coins and brown them on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes, turning often. Transfer the sausage to a plate until ready to use.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft but not browned. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon room temperature water to the pan to stop the garlic browning, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then stir in the spinach and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted and the water in the pan evaporates, about 2 minutes. Spread this frittata filling evenly in the skillet and layer with the chicken sausage.
• Pour the egg-milk mixture over the frittata filling and use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides of the pan and gently pull eggs from the edges toward the middle so that soft curds form and the frittata begins to firm up.
• Give the pan a couple of good shakes to release the frittata from the pan bottom (the top of the frittata will still be raw). Sprinkle the olives and feta over the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the fritatta is mostly dry (the feta will release some liquid--this is fine--but just be sure the egg is completely cooked) and lightly browned on top, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Let rest 5 minutes, then slide the frittata onto a large plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper to taste. Top with more feta, parsley and olive oil. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN & PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Cook pasta according to package directions in plenty of unsalted water until al dente.
• Coat the bottom of a 12-inch (30 cm) deep-dish pie plate with ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) of olive oil. Arrange the cooked pasta over bottom and scatter with pieces of the goat cheese.
• Blend eggs with the yogurt, chili pepper flakes and oregano until well mixed. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Bake frittata in a hot oven on centre rack for 30 minutes or until the frittata is set and lightly browned and a knife inserted into centre comes out clean. Remove from oven.
• While the frittata is baking, prepare the vegetable and chicken topping. Heat remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced red onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, red pepper strips and cooked chunks of chicken until vegetables are just softened. Stir in balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice and freshly ground pepper. Toss basil with the vegetable mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Mix together tomato, green olives, cumin and plain yogurt in a small serving bowl.
• Spread the cooked vegetables and chicken over the top of the frittata. Sprinkle with the grated Romano cheese. Cut into six wedges. Serve with the yogurt sauce on the side.

CHICKEN AND PASTA FRITTATA

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.

CHICKEN AND ORZO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
• In a large bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and creme fraiche and stir until the eggs are beaten and the ingredients are combined. Add the cooked orzo, chicken, scallions, parsley, red bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart flameproof baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler. Place the pan under the broiler until golden on top, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let set for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with a side salad.

SPINACH CHICKEN FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the red pepper and onion in oil until tender. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in the chicken if desired, 1/2 cup spinach, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, salt and pepper (save remaining spinach for another use). Add to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 7-10 minutes. Cut into wedges.
