Greens, Goat's Cheese and Pasta Frittata

A hearty and filling dish; makes for a perfect lunch.
Servings: 4 people
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Pasta - (75g) I used fusilli
  • 6 Free Range Eggs
  • Handful of spring greens and purple sprouting broccoli
  • 3 - 4 oz soft goat's cheese - (75 - 100g)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the pasta on to cook.   Meanwhile prepare the greens by shredding the leaves and cutting the broccoli stalks lengthwise.    Place in a colander and rinse, then wilt by pouring a kettle of boiling water over them.    Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk, add pepper and salt to taste.    When the pasta is cooked drain, cool by rinsing in water, return to the saucepan and add a little oil and stir well (this prevents it sticking together).   Add the pasta, greens (reserving some broccoli stalks), 2/3 of the cheese to the eggs and stir well.
  • Warm a frying pan,  add a glug of olive oil,  pour in the egg mixture and cook slowly over a low heat without stirring.   Arrange the remaining broccoli and goat's cheese on top of the egg mix.     Leave to cook for about 5 to 10 minutes until the eggs start to solidify.   Finish cooking under the grill.    When cooked the fritatta will have puffed up and have started to brown.
  • Leave to set for a few minutes and then carefully slide onto a plate.    Serve warm.
