Neapolitan Pasta Frittata: The Secret to Repurposing Yesterday's Pasta

Cold leftover pasta stored in the fridge gets rubbery when microwaved. Italian home cooks solved this centuries ago with Frittata di Pasta.

1. Neapolitan Frittata di Pasta

Toss cold spaghetti or penne with 3 whisked eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and diced cured meats or veggies. Sear in a skillet with olive oil until golden on both sides.

2. Cheesy Baked Pasta Casserole

Transfer leftover pasta to a baking dish, top with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, then bake at 220°C for 10 minutes until bubbly.

3. Chilled Mediterranean Pasta Salad
