Frittata Di Spaghetti (Spaghetti Frittata)

Time

Yield

8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

1 tsp. olive oil
1/4 lb. prosciutto, diced
6 lg. eggs
3 tbsp. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley or
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 cups cooked spaghetti
1-1/2 cup mozzarella or
other cheese, cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tbsp. butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a frying pan, saute the prosciutto or ham in the olive oil until crispy. Drain on brown paper. (I used paper towels) In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper, and basil or parsley. Add the spaghetti and mix well, then stir in the mozzarella cheese and proscuitto. In a 9-inch frying pan, heat 2T of the butter and 2T of the olive oil. Add the spaghetti mixture and smooth the top with a spatula. Cook over medium-low heat until the frittata is browned on the bottom and set.

Invert a plate larger than the frying pan over the pan and turn out the frittata. Heat the remaining butter and olive oil in the pan, and return the frittata to the pan to brown the other side. Shake the pan occasionally to keep the frittata from sticking. Invert a serving plate over the frying pan and carefully turn out the frittata. Serve at room temperature, cut in wedges (like a pie).
