- Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia demonstrates a great use of leftover pasta to create an easy, but very delicious PASTA FRITTATA. Some people refer to this dish as a pasta pie or pasta pizza. Whatever you call it, it is a crowd-pleased; especially with the kids. Whether you prefer your pasta bianco (white) or rosso (red), you can simply mix in a few ingredients to create a much-loved meal option. To make a pasta frittata, you will need:
- about 3 pounds of cooked and sauced leftover pasta (could be with tomato, pesto, puttanesca etc)
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- vegetable oil to coat your frying pan
In a large mixing bowl, add the 5 eggs, cheese and salt & pepper. Beat well then add in the leftover pasta. Then add in your leftover pasta. I make mine with a bucatini with tomato sauce, but use whatever you enjoy. If you prefer to make your pasta fresh, you will require about a pound of uncooked pasta. Ensure you coat the pasta well, as the egg and cheese will help to bind the pasta.
Add vegetable oil to coat the frying pan and heat until hot. I use canola oil. It is better to use a vegetable oil because it has a higher burn-point than olive oil. The higher heat helps to create a crispier, crunchier crust. If you prefer yours that way, ensure that the pan is hot enough and that you allow the frittata to fry long enough to create the crust. Over medium-high heat, I cook the first side about 10-15 minutes, until I achieve a lovely crust, then using a plate, I flip it to the other side, and allow it to fry about 5-10 min more. When I make egg frittata, I flip them in the air, but these pasta frittatas are rather dense, and the weight makes it very tricky.
Of course you could add mozzarella cheese or crumbled sausage or really whatever you prefer, but here I am demonstrating a classic pasta frittata - feel free to experiment with your favourite ingredients.
Once done, transfer the frittata to a cutting board, allow to sit a few minutes, then cut into 8 servings.
Buon appetito!
