Bring a taste of Italy to your table with this comforting and hearty dish that's perfect for using up leftover pasta!

1

Begin by cooking the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

3

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and add the cooked pasta, cheese, sautéed onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

4

Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook for about 10-15 minutes over medium heat, gently shaking the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once the frittata is set on the bottom, place a lid on the skillet and cook for another 10 minutes to cook the top. Alternatively, you can finish it under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden brown.

6

Remove the frittata from heat, let it cool for a few minutes, and then slice into wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
