Cut the pasta into small pieces for easier preparation.

In a bowl, add 4 whole eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Beat the eggs until consistent and homogeneous.

Add the cut pasta to the egg mixture.

Add about 7 oz of mozzarella cheese cut into small cubes to the mixture.

Gently mix all ingredients until well incorporated.

In a skillet, add 7 oz of diced bacon and stir to let it brown in its own fat.

Spread the bacon evenly across the skillet.

Carefully add the pasta, egg, and cheese mixture on top of the bacon without stirring.

Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until the egg is fully cooked and the base is firm and golden.

Flip the frittata back into the skillet with the uncooked side down and add more mozzarella cheese on top.

Wait until everything is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the skillet and place it on a cutting board to slice into portions.
