Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cooked noodles (spaghetti or any type)
- 5 large Eggs
- 50 ml Milk
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 50 grams Chopped spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 leaves Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Sauté the minced garlic in the oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
Spread the cooked noodles evenly across the skillet, distributing the vegetables throughout the noodles.
Pour the egg mixture over the noodles and vegetables, tilting the skillet to ensure an even layer.
Cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes or until the edges of the frittata set but the center remains slightly runny.
Preheat your oven's broiler (grill function) on high.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is golden and fully set.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (handle will be hot!) and let the frittata cool for 2 minutes.
Slide the frittata onto a serving plate, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and slice into wedges before serving.
