Ingredients

1/2 lb (cooked) capellini or spaghetti

1/2 c + 2 T grated Parmesan, Romano, or combination of both cheeses

2 T olive oil

2 T pesto

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

3 large eggs

1 T unsalted butter

Directions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, usually 3 minutes for capellini.

Drain, place in a warmed bowl, & add 1/2 c grated cheese, 1 T olive oil, the pesto, a pinch of salt & another of pepper.

Mix well until all the strands are coated.

Set aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl & add to the pasta; again, mix well.

Heat 1 T olive oil with the butter in a frying pan.

Add the pasta mixture, smoothing the top & sprinkling it with 1 T grated cheese.

Cook over medium heat until the bottom is nicely browned.

Slide it onto a plate & flip it to cook on the other side, sprinkling the top with the rest of the cheese.

You can also run it under the broiler until browned & not flip it, or put the entire pasta mixture into a slightly greased casserole dish, baking it until firm in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F.

Cut in wedges.

Serves 4 as a main course with salad or 6 as a first course or side dish.
