Not sure what is going on with me tonight (cooking related)

I just made this...Fritatta di spaghetti al pomodoro (simple tomato/basil sauce). Brings back memories of eating slices of it cold at the beach in Capri. (slice it up like a pizza and eat...mmm buono!)

Basically take any leftover pasta you made..any sauce (I prefer simple pasta w/ tomato sauce but a white sauce, creamy with bacon/peas, or pasta w/zucchini, whatever is fine. I don't think a bolognese would be good with this as it may be hard to keep it all together. Put a little oil in your non stick pan/skillet, heat the pasta, stirring around a few minutes. Beat some eggs (I used 4 here), you will need enough to coat the amount of pasta you have. Lower the heat (you don't want scrambled eggs and pasta! LOL) Pour the eggs over the pasta and quickly coat it evenly, spread it in the pan and pat down...cover and leave it on low. Check occassionally and run your spatula around the edges...when you can check the bottom and see that it has cooked and is solid take a large plate/platter place over the skillet and flip it...slowly slip it back in the pan so you can cook the other side a little. You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Remove from pan by slowly sliding it off and on to a flat surface (cutting board or platter). Let cool a little and slice like a pizza. Buon appetito!! This can be eaten cold the next day which is my favorite!! Perfect picnic item to bring to the park or beach :)

    the key is to make sure you put enough eggs and that you let the one side cook really well so that it doesn't break when you flip it.  Thats why you pat it down to make it all stick together and lift around the edges and the outer edge underneath to make sure it is not stuck.  I have had mishaps before.  It happens.

  • Wow, this looks delicious, although I'd have to wait until I feel 100% to give this recipe a try, I might have to ask you for that recipe again in 2nd tri :D

  • I am actually making my version of this tonight. I coat the left over noodles with eggs & parm cheese. Press the noodles into a pyrex dish (sprayed with non-stick spray.) Pour spag. sauce on top of noodles & top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until eggs are cooked (I don't use recipies so about 30-45 minutes.) Broil top if you like crunchy cheese (I do.) My husband likes meat mixed with the sauce, ground hamburger or italian sausage, but I am not liking meat so tonight's will be meatless.
