Spaghetti Frittata with Spinach
Cook the pasta before you do any other prep because the pasta needs time to cool down. And be sure to use a pan with sloped sides so you can slide the frittata out of the pan. - Jenny Jones
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces angel hair spaghetti
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped (2 ounces)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt + pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Break spaghetti in half and cook per package directions. (mine - 3 min.)
- Drain spaghetti, place in a large bowl and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Stir using 2 forks.
- Sauté onion in 1/2 tsp. oil in a fry pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until golden.
- Stir in spinach and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add spinach mixture to spaghetti. Combine using 2 forks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, parmesan, salt & pepper.
- Stir egg mixture into spaghetti using 2 forks.
- Using the same fry pan, heat 1/2 tsp. oil over MEDIUM heat. Swirl the oil around and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly into the pan.
- Cover and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes.
- Remove frittata from pan, flip it over (see note below), swirl 1/2 tsp. oil around the pan, return frittata to pan, cover and cook another 3 minutes. Serve right away.
To Flip the Frittata: Be sure to use a pan with sloped edges. Slide the frittata onto a dinner plate. Cover it with another dinner plate. Flip the plates over. Swirl oil around the pan and slide the frittata back into the pan.
good idea for something to make quickly with leftover spaghetti when you don’t have enough sauce remaining the next day.

Do you have a video
Hi Jen,
This brings back loving memories of my Mom. She made frittata often. She would use breadcrumbs instead of pasta,asparagus instead of spinach and of course what all Italian cooks use,“garlic”!???
So great to hear from you again. Please, please make more videos, absolutely love them,(I’m sure everyone else does too!).

my husband made this for years. in our home it was called a “maltese omelet”.
very tasty!
thanks for the jog in my memory.
If you start frittata on top of stove and then pop it into a preheated broiler or hot oven to finish it you will not have to flip it. This is the restaurant style.
Yes, but be sure your pan is oven safe.
Bobbie, I’m trying this recipe for the first time, and doing it in my 10” cast iron pan. How hot did you make your oven to finish it off, I’m stating it on top of my stove first.
Thank you!
Jean
I am looking forward on making it. I already made the pizza in the cast iron pan.
Looks like something I will love trying out. Thank you so much for all your work in giving us these recipes.
What a meal saver this will be!!!
I’m looking forward to making this for my BH and I on Sunday morning. We love ALL the ingredients! Sounds sooooo yummy!!!! Thanks for the excellent recipes! I have a few mushrooms which just may find their way in also. (hugs)
