Basil
Spaghetti Frittata with Basil
2 teaspoons butter
1 cup cooked spaghetti, linguini, etc.
1 oz feta or goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded
6 eggs, lightly beaten
Preheat the broiler.
In a medium skillet (oven-ready and preferably nonstick), melt the butter over medium heat. Distribute the spaghetti evenly over the pan. Press gently with a spatula to flatten. Let it begin to brown, without stirring, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the crumbled cheese evenly over the past, sprinkle evenly with basil, and pour the eggs over the top, evenly, to cover. Use the spatula to gently press the solid ingredients into the eggs.
Let the frittata cook until the bottom is well set, 5 to 7 minutes. Place the pan about 8 inches from the broiler and let it cook until the eggs are completely set and the top is a nice golden brown.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 2 or 3.
