Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 slices prosciutto or 4 slices ham, diced about 1/4 lb
• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup basil or 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
• 2 cups cooked spaghetti
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese or 1 1/2 cups other cheese, cubed (about 6 oz)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 tablespoons butter

Recipe

• 1 in a frying pan, saute the prosciutto or ham in the olive oil until crispy; drain on brown paper or paper towels.
• 2 in a large bowl, beat the eggs; add the parmigiano-reggiano, salt and pepper, and basil or parsley; add the spaghetti and mix well, then stir in the mozzarella cheese and proscuitto.
• 3 in a 9-inch frying pan, heat 2t of the butter and 2t of the olive oil; add the spaghetti mixture and smooth the top with a spatula; cook over medium-low heat until the frittata is browned on the bottom and set.
• 4 invert a plate larger than the frying pan over the pan and turn out the frittata; heat the remaining butter and olive oil in the pan, and return the frittata to the pan to brown the other side.
• 5 shake the pan occasionally to keep the frittata from sticking.
• 6 rather than turning the frittata, place the pan under the broiler for 5- 8 minutes.
• 7 invert a serving plate over the frying pan and carefully turn out the frittata; serve at room temperature, cut in wedges.
• 8 note: this is even better the day after it is made.
