How to Make Zucchini Tomato Pasta Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Add 2 cups chopped zucchini and 1 cup chopped tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, adding 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (optional).
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup half-and-half, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
  5. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture, 1 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti or linguine, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook on the stovetop for 3 minutes, gently stirring with a spatula to distribute the pasta and vegetables.
  8. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella cheese (optional).
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and puffed and the cheese (if used) is melted and lightly browned.
  11. Let the frittata rest in the skillet for 1 minute before carefully sliding it onto a serving platter.
  12. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with a side salad.
