Print Recipe

Ingredients

4 Egg
Lengths
2 tb Olive Oil
1/2 c Mozzarella Cheese -- sliced
1/4 ts Black Pepper
2 c Cooked Spaghetti -- cut 1 in
1/4 c Parmesan Cheese -- grated
2 Green Onions -- sliced
2 lg Roma Tomatoes -- sliced
2 oz Prosciutto -- sliced
2 tb Italian Parsley -- sliced

Directions

Step #1 1.
Step #2 In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
Step #3 Mix in the spaghetti, pepper & grated Parmesan.
Step #4 2.
Step #5 In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium flame.
Step #6 Add half of the pasta mixture, spreading it out to the edges like a pancake.
Step #7 Spread the sliced mozzarella in a single layer on top, then layer on the tomatoes, green onions & prosciutto.
Step #8 Finish by spreading the remaining pasta on top & pouring any egg left in the bowl over it.
Step #9 Cook on low until the bottom is browned & crisp, about 5 mins.
Step #10 3.
Step #11 When the bottom has set & is golden brown, flip the frittata over, using either a large spatula or sliding it onto a plate and then inverting it back into the pan.
Step #12 Cook, uncovered, another 5 mins, or until the bottom is crisp & golden.
Step #13 4.
Step #14 To serve, slide the frittata out of the pan.
Step #15 Cut into 4 wedges and Sprinkle top with sliced parsley.
Step #16 Serve warm or at about room temp.
Step #17 NOTES: The Italian omelette, known as a frittata, varies from the traditional French omelette in 3 ways.
Step #18 First, the frittata fillings are beaten in with the eggs, instead of being folded inside.
Step #19 Second, the frittata may be finished by either flipping over the whole omelette in the pan, or running it under the broiler.
Step #20 Third, whereas the French omelette is folded, as described above, the Italian frittata is cooked in one, round piece.
Step #21 Both types have their attributes, & preference is merely a matter of taste.
Step #22 I am, however, partial to this particular frittata recipe.
Step #23 Pasta, cheese, is cooked in the eggs with layers of tomatoes, which can be leftover from a previous meal, Spice upings & prosciutto.
Step #24 This is a wonderfully simple yet absolutely delectable omelette, & it can even be made in advance.
Step #25 The recipe makes 4 small to medium-size portions, enough for a light breakfast or first course.
Step #26 If desired, add 2 more eggs & increase the other ingredients accordingly for a heartier, more substantial meal.
Step #27 --.
