Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
• 6 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Shredded parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Cooked crumbled Italian sausage (optional)
• 0.5 cups Chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 0.25 cups Diced bell peppers
• 0.25 cups Diced onions
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cooked pasta, spinach, bell peppers, onions, and cooked sausage (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron or similar) over medium heat. Ensure the entire skillet surface is well-coated with oil.

Step 5

Pour the pasta and egg mixture into the skillet. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure consistent thickness.

Step 6

Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and pull away from the sides of the skillet.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is firm and fully set in the center.

Step 8

Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Use a spatula to loosen the edges and transfer the frittata to a plate or cutting board.

Step 10

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
