Frittata di Maccheroni
Neapolitan pasta frittata with eggs, Grana Padano, pancetta and scamorza.
About Frittata di Maccheroni
Frittata di maccheroni is a Neapolitan pasta frittata traditionally associated with using leftover cooked pasta. This profile follows a spaghetti version enriched with eggs, Grana Padano, pancetta and scamorza.
Egg and melted cheese bind the pasta with a savoury, dairy-rich flavour, while pancetta adds cured-pork depth. Black pepper, butter and olive oil round out the seasoning without a tomato sauce.
The frittata forms a thick golden round that can be cut into firm wedges. Its exterior is crisp and browned, while the interior remains tender with tangled spaghetti, soft cheese and small pancetta pieces.
