Description

This savory Pasta Frittata is a brilliant way to use up leftover spaghetti while creating a satisfying main dish. The eggs bind together layers of cooked pasta, salty prosciutto, juicy diced tomatoes, and melty mozzarella cheese. It offers a wonderful texture contrast between the crisp, golden-brown edges and the soft, custard-like interior. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a light lunch, or a brunch centerpiece, this dish brings home-style Italian comfort to your table. It is equally delicious served warm straight from the pan or at room temperature, making it a versatile option for family meals or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  2. Stir in the cut spaghetti, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour half of the pasta-egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly to the edges to form a base layer.
  5. Spread the diced mozzarella cheese evenly over the pasta layer.
  6. Layer the diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and sliced prosciutto on top of the cheese.
  7. Spread the remaining pasta-egg mixture over the toppings, covering them completely, and pour any remaining egg from the bowl over the top.
  8. Reduce heat to low and cook until the bottom is browned, crisp, and the edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.
  9. Carefully flip the frittata over using a large spatula or by sliding it onto a plate and inverting it back into the pan.
  10. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the bottom is crisp and golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
  11. Slide the frittata out of the pan onto a serving plate.
  12. Cut into 4 wedges and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
