Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked pasta (spaghetti, penne, or any type)
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a medium-sized oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, and swirl until melted and the skillet is well coated.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked pasta, shredded cheese, and half the Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the frittata and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center – it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with additional grated Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
