Spaghetti Omelet
- 6 to 8 ounces linguini, spaghetti, or other pasta, cooked and sauced or not sauced, leftover or freshly cooked, at room temperature
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino, or a combination, to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced salami
- 5 ounces sliced mozzarella
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, the beaten eggs, the black pepper, and the grated cheese.
- Mix well.
- In a 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and swirl it around to make it coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add half the pasta and spread it evenly in the pan.
- Place the sliced cheese and salami on top, but don't put any cheese within 1/2 inch of the edge.
- Add the remaining pasta and spread it to make sure it covers the bottom pasta layer and the sliced cheese.
- Cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the bottom browns.
- Place a plate on top of the pan and reverse the frittata so it falls on the plate.
- Slip the frittata back into the skillet and cook the other side for another 5 to 8 minutes, until it browns.
- Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
