LEFTOVER PASTA FRITTATA
This frittata recipe answers the question of what to do with leftover pasta-or what to make when you're looking for a hearty meal. When testing different pasta types, we found that long, thin strands, such as spaghetti or linguine, are ideal because they cradled the egg nicely. We added bright cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and sharp Parmesan for extra freshness and flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in an oven-safe, medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, then continue to cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the cooked pasta, tomatoes and half of the mozzarella, tossing until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, tomato sauce, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then jiggle the pan to evenly distribute. Top with the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella.
- Bake until the eggs are set and frittata is browned around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
SPAGHETTI FRITTATA FROM LEFTOVERS
An ideal lunch snack or light dinner from leftovers that can be prepared in advance. The recipe is very versatile and can easily be adapted to what you have on hand and how much leftover pasta there is, but I like it best with marinara sauce. - The amounts given work well only for spaghetti or other long pasta that can be packed tightly. Short pasta needs more egg mixture and the wedges won't hold together too well.

Steps:
- NOTE: I usually use leftover pasta and mix it up with its sauce the night before and put it in the fridge. - If you double the recipe, use a 9 inch round form and cook about 10 - 15 minutes longer, reduce heat then to 375°F.
- Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Grease a 7 inch pie form or other small ovenproof dish with the olive oil or butter.
- Mince basil. With a sharp knife cut crosswise through pasta 2 or 3 times, it will mix easier with sauce and eggs this way.
- If you hadn't done so previously, mix pasta with their sauce.
- In a bowl mix 2 eggs, salt, pepper, basil and parmesan. Add pasta and mix thoroughly just to coat. The pasta should not "swim" in eggs.
- If you feel there is not enough egg, beat up the third egg seperatly and mix under pasta, too.
- Mix in any colorful additon that might go well with the flavors of your pasta, such as peas, peppers, chilies etc., but not more than 1/2 cup.
- Fill pasta mixture in pie form, level surface and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until center is set and pasta looks golden.
- If frittata is too light in color put under the grill for a few seconds.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

PASTA FRITTATA
This dish is one recipe calling for leftover pasta that is actually worth planning for. It's portable, it's endlessly versatile, and it's practically foolproof. Substitute almost any cheese for the Parmesan (or leave it out altogether) and toss in any cooked vegetable or meat. Make it your own. One last bit of advice from Mr. Bittman: "The key to extreme enjoyment is to make sure that some ends of pasta pieces protrude from the top of the mixture when you put it in the oven. They will become crunchy, giving the leftover pasta yet one more pleasant dimension."

Steps:
- If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
- In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.

- Preheat oven to 425°. Heat the olive oil over medium-high in a medium-sized oven-proof skillet. Add in the fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, onion, and garlic. Cook until onion and garlic are fragrant and tender, about five minutes. Add in the tomato and cook until some of the water is released, about 2 minutes.
- Add the leftover pasta to the tomato mixture, and stir until evenly distributed. Spread the mixture evenly along the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture over top of the spaghetti mixture—do not stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the edges of the frittata are solid, but the top is still liquidy, about 5 minutes.
