Frittatas are a wonderful way to use up small bits of leftovers. Cooked grains, roasted vegetables and shrimp all make great frittata ingredients. This frittata utilizes whole wheat spaghetti to make it super hearty. Artichoke hearts, onion and zucchini add a variety of textures and the much-loved vegetable presence. Topped with simple tomato sauce, this dish is a wonderful Italian weeknight dinner dish or brunch main. Ready in a quick 40 minutes, you can serve each portion with some grilled asparagus or atop some peppery arugula. Any smaller shape pasta can work here if you have some leftover penne or rotini from a previous meal.
