This Savory Pasta Frittata is not only easy to whip up but also incredibly versatile. Here’s why it’s a must-try:

  • Quick and Easy: Perfect for busy weeknights.
  • Flavor Packed: Fresh herbs and cheese elevate the taste.
  • Versatile: Use any leftover pasta and herbs you have on hand.
  • One-Pan Wonder: Minimal cleanup required.
  • Great for Any Meal: Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked spaghetti
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Savory Pasta Frittata

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings until well combined.
  3. Add the cooked spaghetti, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped herbs to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the pasta and egg mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan.
  5. Cook for about 5 minutes on the stovetop, gently shaking the pan to prevent sticking.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your spaghetti is al dente before mixing it with the egg mixture; this will help maintain the texture.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like feta, mozzarella, or cheddar for varied flavors.
  • Don’t skip the herbs! They add freshness and depth to the dish.

Easy Variations

  • Add cooked vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • Incorporate diced ham or cooked sausage for a heartier meal.
  • Substitute the spaghetti with other pasta types or even quinoa for a gluten-free option.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with vinaigrette.
  • Roasted vegetables for a colorful plate.
  • Garlic bread for a comforting side.
  • A refreshing yogurt dip or tzatziki.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave-safe dish and warm for 30-60 seconds or until heated through. You can also reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
