Pasta Frittata

Great For Using Up Leftovers!

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cooked pasta - leftover Egg
•   and Parmesan Pasta works well
• 3 large eggs 
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

• 
  

• Directions

Whisk together the eggs, 1/8 cup parsley, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl.  Heat the oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pasta and toss until warmed through (about 4 minutes.) Pour egg mixture over pasta.  Do not stir. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until eggs start to firm up and bottom begins to brown, lifting sides occasionally to let uncooked egg run underneath (about 8 minutes.) Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle the frittata with parmesan cheese. Place under broiler and broil until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

Slide frittata onto plate.  Sprinkle with reserved parsley and cut into wedges.  Serve with toast and fruit.
