Pulled from Biggie.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups leftover pasta with sauce (any kind, although long pastas like spaghetti work particularly well, and pesto sauce is particularly nice)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 Tb Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Tb Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (if not available, substitute Parmesan)
- 2 Tb parsley, chopped
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
1) In a bowl, beat together the eggs, cheeses, parsley and pepper. Add leftover pasta and stir well.
2) Pre-heat broiler, and heat a mini frying pan (8-inch or similar) on medium heat and oil pan (with cooking spray, vegetable oil or butter). Pour in the egg and pasta mixture, and stir with a heatproof spatula until curds have formed in the egg. Use the spatula to pat the pasta down and shape the sides into a disc.
3) Run the pan under the hot broiler until the top is golden brown, remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Residual heat will continue to cook the inside of the frittata without turning it rubbery.
4) If necessary, run the rubber spatula under the frittata to loosen it from the pan, and turn it out onto a cutting board. Cut and serve (additional sauce optional).
