If you had friends over for a pasta night and you have some leftovers, here’s an idea to use them up, a great spaghetti frittata!
Ingredients for 4 servings:
Spaghetti frittata
(4 servings)
• ¾ lb (350 g) of boiled spaghetti
• 3,5 oz (100 g) of smoked scamorza cheese
• 1,8 oz (50 g) of diced bacon • 5 medium eggs
• ½ cup (50 g) of grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp of chopped parsley
• pepper, salt and 3-4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Begin by cutting the scamorza cheese into cubes — I am using smoked scamorza cheese, but you can substitute any cheese you like, such as Emmental, fontina, mozzarella and so on — the cubes shouldn’t be too small. Now combine all the ingredients for the frittata, so take a bowl… the eggs… beat the eggs with a fork… and then add the other ingredients: the grated parmesan cheese… the chopped parsley… the diced bacon — smoked or unsmoked, according to taste — a pinch of salt… pepper… and finally the diced cheese. Well, the egg mixture is ready, so move on to the pasta.
Take a 10-inch (26 cm) pan and heat 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil; once hot, add the pasta… spread it in an even layer to cover the bottom… and cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, until crispy. In this case I’m using spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili pepper, but you can use any leftover pasta with sauce, just take care to add different ingredients, for example if you’re using pasta with a fish or meat sauce… now pour the egg mixture onto the spaghetti, spreading it evenly as well, after that, cover with a lid, lower the heat to low and cook for at least 10 minutes.
It’s time to flip the frittata over, as you can see it’s almost cooked and the cheese is almost melted, so wear a kitchen glove to protect your hands, and use a flat lid to turn it over, in this way. Now remove the lid, and cook still on a low flame for another 5 minutes.
When you flip the frittata, don’t forget to press the lid tightly onto the pan, to prevent the oil from leaking out; to ensure that the frittata is cooked, shake the pan back and forth to see if it moves freely, like this. Now take it out of the pan… and it’s ready to be eaten!
See? The spaghetti frittata is not only a great way to use up leftover pasta, but it’s also a lovely idea for a picnic, don’t you think?

Sonia! I wish I can cook with you. Grazie!
I just spent 5 minutes watching a video on something I’m likely never going to attempt making.
Such is life.
That doesnt look 2 hot
Sonia, can I picnic with you? I will cook for you, and write you poetry<3
You can add anything you like 😉 !
Looks great! Thanks
This is totally separate : )) but I think you’d look younger (even) if you didn’t make your eyebrows so thin. Leaving them thicker gives the face a more youthful appearance. I used to do mine too thin when I was younger in my 20’s until I learned the trick of leaving them thicker.
Can you bake it?
Had made a lot of spaghetti today, didn’t know what to do with until I saw this video. Thanks!
Mi reina!! no me comería esta “MADRE” ni atado al POSTE, pero cada día hay más comida Chatarra, y la Cosa esa que dices de Paela Vegetariana … todo era congelado..estoy seguro que con esta “Figura” que tienes .COMES REBIEN!! PEPE.
Can i skip bacon? I don’t eat bacon..
Fantastico!!!!
Looks great, I will make this! Thanks.
I tried your recipe and it out sooooo delicious! Now the family will be cooking a lot of spaghetti next time to have a lot more left over haha. Thank you very much Sonia for the recipe!
I reckon that the bacon should be cooked before combining. Just healthier and safer…
Otherwise, a great idea to use up leftovers. Nice!
Special like from Tunisia 🙂
That looks amazing.
Thanks for the great recipe, my mom adds pine nuts and garnishes it with mortadella and sliced black olives.
This is easy to make… you should try 😉
tq…i appreciate it..
Looks very good!
Yum! … Going to have to try this
UUUUUUUUUURGH!!!
Spaghetti Carbonara omelette pizza: three of my favourite meals in one dish.
In the english language, every noun is also a verb.
i made it but dont like it .
Wonderful idea…Love it
быстро легко и очень апетитно
Don’t you think it better if you crack the eggs in to a small bowl before you add it to the big bowl. You could run in to a bad egg once in a while.
This would be great for Sunday brunch!
Italia! so cool!
what can i add to make it spicy?
Great idea!!! Yesterday i made uoga in pergatorio. Another great quick idea. Is Giallo Zef. your boss?
A picnic? 😀 I thought you’d never ask! ^_^
So do i have to use that cheese?????
so fattening, lol. but look good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can i add others ingridients???like chicken or beef??if i put fish,is it ok towards this dishes??
You didn’t cut us a piece! That looks good. In my family we make a Macaroni Cake-Thick spaghetti(perciatelli), eggs, a ton of grated cheese, pepperoni and a lot of black pepper. It’s baked in the oven and eaten hot or cold. Never knew anyone else who made it. Ciao!
I have the same stand mixer!
I made it ! it was so easy that at my first go I achomplished it, and im only 12 and I didn’t need any help. Thank you !
