- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated plus more for garnish
- Salt
Directions
1.
Preheat
the
oven
to
400
degrees.
2.
If
you
are
not
using
leftover
pasta,
prepare
and
cook
the
pasta
according
to
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
Once

drain
the
spaghetti
from
the

water
and
set
it
aside
to
cool.
3.
To
prepare
the
frittata,
add
the
olive
oil
and
mince
onion
to a
large
oven
safe
skillet.
Heat
the
pan
over
medium
high
heat.
When
the
onion
begins
to
sizzle,
sauté
it
until
it
begins
to
turn
translucent.
4.
Once
the
onion
is
translucent,
add
the
diced
tomatoes
to
the
pan
with
a
pinch
of
salt
and
lower
the
heat
to
medium.
Toss
the
tomatoes
lightly
in
the
pan
to
combine
them
with
the
onion.
Cover
the
pan
and
cook
for
8 -
10
minutes,
stirring
occasionally
to
assist
in
breaking
down
the
tomatoes
into
a
light
sauce.
5.
As
the
tomatoes
cook,
break
the
eggs
into
a
mixing
bowl,
add
the
Parmigiano
to
the
bowl
and
whisk
the
ingredients
thoroughly
until
all
of
the
yolks
have
been
broken
and
everything
is
combined
into
a
uniform
liquid.
6.
When
the
tomatoes
have
broken
down
into
a
light
sauce
add
the
spaghetti
to
the
skillet
and
toss
it
so
that
it
is
evenly
coated
throughout
with
a
bit
of
the
tomato
sauce.
7.
Once
the
sauce
and
the
pasta
are
combined,
distribute
the
pasta
evenly
to
cover
the
pan,
and
then
gently
pour
the
egg
and
Parmigiano
mixture
over
the
pasta.
8.
Cover
the
pan
and
cook
over
medium
heat
until
the
eggs
begin
to
cook
through
to
the
top
of
the
frittata,
about
12 -
15
minutes.
9.
When
the
eggs
have
begun
to
cook
through,
uncover
the
skillet
and
sprinkle
a
handful
of
grated
Parmigiano
over
the
top
of
the
frittata,
and
then
open
the
oven,
place
the
pan
on
the
middle
rack
and
bake
for
another
15 -
20
minutes
or
until
the
frittata
is a
golden
brown
and
begins
to
pull
away
from
the
sides
of
the
skillet.
10.
Once
the
frittata
is
cooked,
remove
it
from
the
oven
and
allow
it
to
cool
for
10 -
15
minutes
prior
to
serving.
