Torta Di Pasta
- Salt
- 8 ounces dried spaghetti, or leftover cooked pasta
- 1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup freshly grated fontina cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Drain.
- In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti with the sun-dried tomatoes, then set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese, fontina cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper to blend.
- Add the egg mixture to the cooled spaghetti mixture, and toss to coat.
- Preheat the broiler.
- In a 9 1/2-inch-diameter ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium heat.
- Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the skillet, pressing to form an even layer.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Let the torta cool in the skillet to room temperature, then invert it onto a platter.
- Cut the torta into wedges and serve at room temperature.
