Great combo of flavors for this hearty omelet/fritta recipe Ingredients:
2/3 pound (300 grams) spaghetti |
2/3 pound (300 grams) chopped tomatoes (canned will be fine) |
1/2 pound (220 grams) mozzarella |
4 eggs |
5-6 basil leaves |
4 sprigs parsley, minced |
1/4 pound (100 grams) spicy italian sausage |
1/2 cup mixed freshly grated parmigiano and pecorino romano cheese |
a clove of garlic, peeled and crushed |
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Set pasta water to boil, and while it's heating heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot; add the garlic, and when it has become golden add the tomatoes.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Then add the basil.
4. In the meantime, slice the mozzarella cheese and drain it well.
5. Peel the casing from the sausage and slice it too.
6. By now the pasta water should be boiling; salt it and cook the spaghetti.
7. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add to them the parsley and half the cheese mixture; season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Drain the pasta, run it under cold water to cool the strands, and combine them with the egg mixture.
9. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet, spread half the pasta mixture over it, and then spread the tomatoes, cheese, and sausage over the pasta.
10. Cover the tomato mixture with the remaining pasta, cover the skillet with a lid that doesn't have a lip, and cook for 5-6 minutes over a low flame, or until a crust has formed at the bottom of the frittata.
11. To turn the grip the handle of the skillet with one hand, and hold the lid firmly against the skillet with your other hand, using a potholder lest you burn yourself.
12. Lift everything, and flip the skillet and lid; the frittata should come free from the skillet, resting with the unbrowned side down on the lid.
13. Turn the skillet right side up, slide the frittata into it, and return it to the fire to brown the other side.
