Spaghetti Frittata

Spaghetti Frittata

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz spaghetti (fresh or leftover)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 large eggs
  • 10 oz mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, then add some salt. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until Al dente.
  • Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the tomato sauce and toss to coat. Let cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs.
  • When the spaghetti has cooled, add the beaten eggs, mozzarella, and Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Heat an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot, then add a drizzle of olive oil and the garlic. Cook, stirring until the garlic is golden. Remove and discard the garlic.
  • Add the spaghetti to a pan, pressing it into an even layer with a spatula. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until a golden crust has developed on the bottom.
  • Invert a large plate over the pan and, in one quick motion, flip the frittata onto a plate.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil, then slide the frittata back into the pan and cook on the second side until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Serve hot.
