Pasta Frittata is a delightful fusion of flavors that combines the heartiness of pasta with the richness of eggs, making it the perfect dish for any meal.

1

Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain and set aside.

2

In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

3

Chop the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into small pieces.

4

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

5

Next, add the bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.

6

Combine the cooked pasta and sautéed vegetables with the beaten eggs. Add 1 cup of cheese and mix well.

7

Pour the mixture back into the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is set.

8

To finish cooking, preheat your broiler. Once the frittata is set on the bottom but slightly soft on top, place the skillet under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until the top is golden brown and fully cooked.

9

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
