Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cooked pasta (e.g., spaghetti or penne)
- 4 large Eggs
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
- 50 grams Cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until well combined.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and set the mixture aside.
If using vegetables, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and sauté the chopped vegetables (and cooked bacon or ham, if using) until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Spread the cooked pasta evenly in the pan as the base layer.
Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables and any other toppings over the pasta.
Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and toppings, ensuring it coats everything evenly.
Cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom layer is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
Optional: For a golden-brown top, place the pan under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, but make sure the pan is oven-safe.
Remove the pan from heat and let the pasta omelette rest for 2 minutes before carefully sliding it onto a serving plate.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Pasta Omelette!
