This frittata recipe is the answer to the question: "What to do with leftover pasta?" Prepare a simple, filling dish that won't take long, and will give day-old pasta a whole new flavor. Long pasta, such as spaghetti, bucatini, or linguine, is best for this recipe. They freeze best in an omelet. Sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and zesty Parmesan will infuse your frittata with freshness and an even richer flavor.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 6 slices bacon (about 120g), chopped into pieces
  • Half a small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 170 g of cooked pasta, such as spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (about 200 g), halved
  • 1 cup pearl mozzarella (about 220 g), patted dry
  • 8 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup of any tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Place the bacon in a medium oven-safe nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, another 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the cooked pasta, tomatoes, and half the mozzarella, tossing to combine.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, tomato sauce, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then shake the pan to distribute the liquid evenly. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
  4. Bake until the eggs are set and the frittata is golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter or cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve, sprinkled with grated Parmesan.
