Grandma’s Secret Pasta Frittata

Cook the Pasta:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat well. Season with salt.
Add the chopped green onion, parsley, and grated cheese to the beaten eggs. Mix well to combine.
Cook the Tomato:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped tomato and cook until the tomatoes are soft and have released their juices.
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the cooked pasta and peas to the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir until combined and spread evenly in the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the pasta in the skillet, making sure to evenly coat all of the pasta and filling.
Cook the frittata:
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook the frittata for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bottom is lightly browned.
Optionally, finish grilling the top for a few minutes on the grill to crisp up the top.
Participate:
Remove the frittata from the pan and place it on a plate. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, if desired, with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Pasta frittata is a fantastic dish that combines the warmth of pasta, the freshness of tomatoes and herbs, and the richness of Dutch cheese, all paired with eggs.
