Simple Spaghetti Frittata Recipes

PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a saute pan and over a high heat, add the olive oil, fresh garlic, red and green peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook until vegetables are slightly softened, and then add the spinach and ham and let simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture well and add it to a slightly greased 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
• In a separate bowl combine the eggs and half-and-half, and mix well with a wire whisk. Add the combination to the baking pan along with the Parmesan, mozzarella, fresh basil, and spaghetti. Mix all the ingredients together gently.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking pan in the middle rack and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Then remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Garnish the pasta frittata with Parmesan and fresh parsley and serve.

SPAGHETTI FRITTATA FROM LEFTOVERS

Steps:

• NOTE: I usually use leftover pasta and mix it up with its sauce the night before and put it in the fridge. - If you double the recipe, use a 9 inch round form and cook about 10 - 15 minutes longer, reduce heat then to 375°F.
• Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Grease a 7 inch pie form or other small ovenproof dish with the olive oil or butter.
• Mince basil. With a sharp knife cut crosswise through pasta 2 or 3 times, it will mix easier with sauce and eggs this way.
• If you hadn't done so previously, mix pasta with their sauce.
• In a bowl mix 2 eggs, salt, pepper, basil and parmesan. Add pasta and mix thoroughly just to coat. The pasta should not "swim" in eggs.
• If you feel there is not enough egg, beat up the third egg seperatly and mix under pasta, too.
• Mix in any colorful additon that might go well with the flavors of your pasta, such as peas, peppers, chilies etc., but not more than 1/2 cup.
• Fill pasta mixture in pie form, level surface and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until center is set and pasta looks golden.
• If frittata is too light in color put under the grill for a few seconds.
• Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

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.
