This easy frittata recipe is a classic from the comfort of your own kitchen. Add your favorite ingredients (I love fresh ricotta) and you’ll have a frittata that’s ready to take on any holiday spread or afternoon snack.
If you’re making this recipe for your family, you’ll need a good-sized skillet and a few other things. The dish itself is best when done in the oven and topped with cheese. If you want to make a quick and easy pasta dish, simply use two large pots and stir together two cups of pasta, about half a cup of cheese, and a few other things.
A frittata is a great lunch or dinner option for a family meal, but in the winter when the sun is low and the weather is mild, we like to serve it with a nice, creamy, buttery sauce. The recipe itself takes about 10 minutes to put together.
A frittata could be a great starting point for a quick meal for a crowd. For that reason alone, we’d definitely recommend it.
To reheat a frittata, simply heat the two large pots of pasta until it’s just about ready and add it to a pan and stir. Add the cheese and stir again. Repeat until it’s all melted and bubbling. Serve with some fresh, cold butter.
The sauce itself is quite simple and incredibly versatile. I usually throw it on top of a pile of anything from pizza to grilled chicken. The sauce can be used as a base for a bunch of things, including a tasty dip for sliced bread. For a more decadent dish, add chopped tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and a spoonful of pesto to the sauce.
The pasta version of this dish is a bit different. Instead of adding the sauce directly, I like to get the sauce bubbling on top of the sauce and then add the pasta right after that. The pasta is added directly to the pan after the sauce has been bubbling for a bit so the pasta doesn’t get dry. This way, the pasta doesn’t get stuck in the sauce and the sauce doesn’t get dry.
The best part of this dish is that it’s completely under your control. You can make the sauce hot or cold, you can add different things like tomatoes or pesto, or you can leave it as is. If you want pasta, the recipe has a lot of instructions and you can make this dish like you would a regular frittata.
Reheating is one of the easiest ways to cook pasta, but you can also cook it the way it goes in the sauce and add all the ingredients separately.
Basically, re-heating a recipe is the method by which we cook pasta to bring it to the same, already cooked temperature. Because this sauce is already hot, it means that you can simply replace the pasta and sauce ingredients with the exact same ingredients you would normally use.
