Leftover pasta cooked in beaten eggs in a pan until set and crispy. Italian comfort food from nothing.

Easy · 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover cooked pasta
  • 4 eggs
  • 50g parmesan
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
  2. Beat eggs with parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix pasta into eggs. Let soak 2 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in ovenproof pan. Add pasta mixture. Press down flat.
  5. Cook 3 minutes until bottom sets.
  6. Transfer to oven. Bake 10 minutes until set.

Why this works

Eggs bind leftover pasta into a cohesive cake. The bottom crisps in the pan and the top sets in the oven.
