Spaghetti Frittata
Serves 4
|
paghetti and eggs? Yes! It's a complete meal in one dish when you add whole-grain carbohydrates to this protein- and vegetable-filled Italian omelet. The vegetables are subtle and the peas add a delicate sweetness that kids will love. I originally intended to serve this with warm pasta sauce but I loved the unadorned frittata so much I decided to leave out the sauce. If you or your children would prefer this with sauce, make sure it's a low sodium tomato sauce, such as Classico Tomato & Basil sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces De Cecco whole-wheat spaghetti
- 4 teaspoons Napa Valley organic olive oil, divided
- 1/2 medium Melissa's organic onion, diced
- 1 ripe red tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup C&W organic frozen sweet petite peas
no salt added
- 1 clove Melissa's organic garlic, minced
- 6 Eggland's Best eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup Reggiano Parmesan cheese
- - olive oil spray
Instructions:
Cook the spaghetti for 13 minutes, drain, and set aside. If using leftover spaghetti, reheat it.
Preheat the broiler. Heat oil in a medium sized ovenproof skillet (not a non-stick pan). Add the onion and cook 3 minutes over medium heat. Add diced tomato and cook 3 more minutes. Add the peas and garlic and cook just 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl beat the eggs together. Add the vegetables. Season with salt, pepper and Reggiano Parmesan cheese.
To the same skillet used for the vegetables, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and spray bottom and sides well with olive oil spray. Heat over medium-low heat. Add warm cooked spaghetti to the pan. Pour egg mixture on top and let set on the bottom and through the middle, lifting the bottom occasionally to let uncooked egg run underneath. Once set, after about 5-7 minutes, place pan in broiler for 1-2 minutes, until top is set. Carefully place a plate on top of pan and flip frittata over onto plate. Slice in four like a pizza and serve.
