Chef's Note

This frittata is the perfect way to transform leftover pasta into a completely new meal. For extra flavor, you can add any leftover vegetables or cooked meat you have in your fridge. The key to a perfect frittata is to cook it slowly over medium heat to prevent burning the bottom before the eggs are set.
