Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (5 ounce) bag Baby Spinach, chopped
1 garlic clove, sliced
10 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
5 cooked lasagna noodles, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 ounces ricotta cheese, scooped into 1 tsp. pieces
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
3/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in deep nonstick skillet. Add spinach and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted and garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
Whisk eggs and cream together in large bowl. Stir in spinach mixture, basil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, ricotta, noodles, 4 oz. of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of Parmigiano-Regiano cheese.
Heat oven to broil.
Heat 1 tablespoons of oil in deep, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over low heat. Add egg mixture and cook, lifting edges to allow eggs to run underneath, 3-4 minutes. Cover skillet and cook for 15 minutes or until frittata is almost completely set. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Parmiagiano-Reggianon cheese on top of frittata, recover and cook for 2 minutes more. Place frittata in oven and broil until cheese is melted and nicely browned. Slide firttata onto serving plate. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into pieces.
