Transform Leftover Pasta Into a Cheesy Frittata

cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk lowers calories while maintaining moisture.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is leaner, while ham is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a budget-friendly alternative with a neutral flavor.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.

Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed and golden.

Check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
