Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti (cooked)
- 6 large eggs
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams grated mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the spinach mixture cool slightly.
Gently mix the cooked spinach mixture and grated mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
Heat another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Spread the cooked spaghetti evenly across the bottom of the skillet, creating a flat layer.
Pour the egg and spinach mixture over the spaghetti, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the skillet.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 5-6 minutes over medium heat, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Place the skillet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the top of the frittata is golden brown and fully set.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts!) and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your Florentine Spaghetti Frittata!
