As strange as it may sound, a spaghetti frittata really is a thing. It's a great way to use leftover spaghetti noodles, sure, but because it's so fun and tasty, we've created a recipe that whips one up using an expressly prepared batch of pasta. Feel free to add other fresh ingredients you have on hand to your frittata, which is really an Italian-style omelet that goes from stove top to the oven to finish cooking. Eggs and cheese add moisture to the spaghetti, and amp up the pasta's flavor and texture. too. Plus, a frittata takes just minutes to prepare, is essentially foolproof, and adding spaghetti turns a breakfast and brunch favorite into dinner in a snap. Serve it with a leafy green salad or side of steamed asparagus or broccoli.
