LEFTOVER PASTA FRITTATA



Leftover Pasta Frittata image

This frittata recipe answers the question of what to do with leftover pasta-or what to make when you're looking for a hearty meal. When testing different pasta types, we found that long, thin strands, such as spaghetti or linguine, are ideal because they cradled the egg nicely. We added bright cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and sharp Parmesan for extra freshness and flavor.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 slices bacon (about 4.5 ounces), chopped
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces cooked pasta, such as spaghetti, linguine or bucatini
1 cup cherry tomatoes (about 7 ounces), halved
1 cup pearl-size fresh mozzarella balls (about 8 ounces), drained
8 large eggs
1/2 cup favorite tomato sauce (jarred or homemade)
1/4 cup whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the bacon in an oven-safe, medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, then continue to cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the cooked pasta, tomatoes and half of the mozzarella, tossing until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, tomato sauce, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then jiggle the pan to evenly distribute. Top with the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake until the eggs are set and frittata is browned around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

We highly recommend making this great frittata recipe for your next brunch. It's filled with sauteed vegetables and pasta. We opted to add shrimp to the recipe but cubed chicken would be tasty too. There are a few steps to this recipe, but completely worth it. Very hearty, this frittata is a complete meal. A creative way to cook...

PASTA FRITTATA



Pasta Frittata image

This dish is one recipe calling for leftover pasta that is actually worth planning for. It's portable, it's endlessly versatile, and it's practically foolproof. Substitute almost any cheese for the Parmesan (or leave it out altogether) and toss in any cooked vegetable or meat. Make it your own. One last bit of advice from Mr. Bittman: "The key to extreme enjoyment is to make sure that some ends of pasta pieces protrude from the top of the mixture when you put it in the oven. They will become crunchy, giving the leftover pasta yet one more pleasant dimension."

Categories     easy

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine or other long pasta (or about 1/2 pound cooked pasta)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced pancetta, bacon or prosciutto, optional
6 eggs
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

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.
