1. If not using leftover spaghetti, cook 300 grams of spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 eggs and whisk them thoroughly.
3. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, milk, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg mixture and toss to coat all the pasta evenly.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing them to melt and coat the pan.
6. Pour the spaghetti and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Cook the frittata on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and set but the top is still slightly runny.
8. Carefully slide the frittata onto a large plate. Place the skillet upside down over the plate and flip the frittata back into the skillet to cook the other side.
9. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on both sides.
10. Transfer the frittata to a serving plate. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature with an optional side salad or some crusty bread.
