Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Colander
  • Medium Bowl
  • 9-10 inch nonstick or ovenproof skillet
  • Spatula
  • plate (for flipping)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan or other grated cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or about 3 turns of a pepper grinder
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup spaghetti, broken into quarters before measuring broken into fourths before measuring; cook before using
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broken spaghetti, and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 9–10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked spaghetti and marinara sauce, tossing to combine and warm through for 1–2 minutes.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spaghetti in the skillet, gently stirring once to distribute, then tilt the pan so the eggs cover the spaghetti evenly.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the bottom is set and the edges lift easily, about 4 minutes.
  • Carefully invert the frittata onto a plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side until just set, about 3 minutes.
  • Slide the frittata onto a cutting board or plate, cut into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Break spaghetti into quarters before measuring for correct volume.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking while flipping.
  • Covering the pan helps the top set without overcooking the bottom.
