Pasta Frittata
- Cooking spray
- 8 ounces presliced fresh button mushrooms
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup chopped onion (yellow preferred)
- 1 cup egg substitute
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked whole-grain spaghetti or no-yolk noodles (4 ounces dried)
- 3/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (about 3 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
- Cook the mushrooms, zucchini, and onion over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, milk, parsley, oregano, and salt.
- Stir the pasta into the mushroom mixture.
- Pour the egg substitute mixture over all.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, covered, for 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the mozzarella.
- Remove from the heat.
- Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to continue cooking and melt the mozzarella.
- Serve sprinkled with the Parmesan.
- Substitute chopped green or red bell pepper for the zucchini, salt-free Cajun seasoning for the salt, and 3 ounces shredded low-fat sharp Cheddar cheese for the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- If you dont have any leftover pasta, cook 4 ounces of dried angel hair (without salt or oil) to use instead of the spaghetti or noodles.
- The angel hair will cook in about the same amount of time it takes you to cook the mushrooms, zucchini, and onion.
- Dont use fresh or refrigerated pasta in this recipe.
- It will break down and become a solid mass.
