This is a great way to use up leftover pasta. You can make this recipe with any pasta (even one that's been sauced!) of any shape, though I find that spaghetti work particularly well. If the pasta is already covered in a rich sauce, perhaps omit the pancetta. —Skye | From My Dining Table

Ingredients
-
6
eggs
-
3 tablespoons
grated Parmesan
-
300 grams
cold cooked spaghetti
-
180 grams
pancetta
Directions
-
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with a fork.
-
Add the Parmesan to the eggs, stir until well combined, then add the spaghetti. Mix well until all the pasta is covered with egg.
-
Set a medium-sized pan over a medium heat and toss in the pancetta. Fry for a few minutes until it begins to crisp.
-
Leaving a little of the fat from the pancetta in the bottom of the pan, remove the cooked pancetta and toss it into the bowl with the pasta and egg. Give it all a good mix.
-
Set the pan back on the heat and spoon in the pasta mixture.
-
Fry the frittata gently on one side for a few minutes until golden brown.
-
When the frittata begins to come away at the edges of the pan, flip it over and fry on the other side for a further 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Serve piping hot.
