Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cooked spaghetti
- 6 large eggs
- 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 60 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until well combined.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg mixture and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet (approximately 10 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the spaghetti and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cook over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, until the edges are set and golden but the center is still slightly runny.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) or switch on the broiler function.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake or broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden and the frittata is fully set. You can gently test the center with a toothpick to ensure it’s cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Carefully slide the frittata out of the skillet or cut it directly in the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
