CHEEZY ZUCCHINI AND PASTA FRITTATA RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cheezy Zucchini And Pasta Frittata Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-4939

Number Of Ingredients 10

INGREDIENTS
olive oil
(5 oz) cooked spaghetti then cut into approx 2" or 3" pieces
2 zucchinigrated - set these aside in a bowl
For the thick batter
7 oz firm silken tofu
1/4 cup (vegan milk
2 cups vegan cheese, grated
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp gram flour

Steps:

  • BATTER Place all the ingredients, except for the milk, in your food processor, and process for 1 minute or so - then add your milk a little at a time. The consistency of the batter must be thick. ASSEMBLING THE DISH 1.Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan, and fry the grated zucchini, until they get a little color. It's possible they will yield their juices, but the juice will evaporate as you fry away. Keep turning them around - 5 minutes . Then remove and set aside in a bowl. 2.Next, add some more oil to the pan, heat it and then add your drained cut up spaghetti. Allow to sit in the pan for a while about 2 minutes or so - then turn it around so that the spaghetti begins to take some color. When it's turned a little light golden, as you continue to mix, at this point you can add the batter to it, spreading it with a spatula as best you can on the surface. It will not look a pretty sight at this point, but don't take that too seriously. 3.Allow the frittata to begin to solidify a little, and using a metal spatula, add the zucchini on top, again spreading them as evenly as you can. Gently push the edges, add a little salt, and then transfer the frittata to a well-greased round oven dish, about 8 inches across . Even it out gently with a fork, pour some olive oil on top, and place it in a hot 400ºF for half an hour, or until golden

ZUCCHINI TOMATO PASTA FRITTATA



Zucchini Tomato Pasta Frittata image

Although the original recipe did not call for garlic, I like to add in about 1/2 tablespoon in when frying the veggies, but that is only optional of coarse. This makes a wonderful light dinner served with a side salad. If desired you can even throw in just a little cubed cooked ham or cooked bacon, but not too much as there won't be enough room for the frittata to fit into the pan. This is very good, and a great way to use up any leftover spaghetti or linguine pasta.
