Made this recipe for company and was very disappointed. The entire table thought it was basically bland and tasteless - sort of eqivalent to eating a bowl of bechamel by itself.
Wonderful, Easy

This was a great recipe... not for the calorie/cholesterol conscience, but delicious nonetheless. I cut the recipe in half, and it was more than enough for three people. Very easy to do. Paired it with a mixed greens with cranberries and a baslamic/olive oil dressing, and it was a tasty meal all around.
This was wonderful!!

I made this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I left out almost all the oil and all of the butter, just using a bit of oil to grease the bottom of the pan. I used just a dash of evaporated skim milk instead of cream, two ounces of fresh grated parmesan, used egg beaters and whole wheat pasta instead. I wanted a more substantial dish so I added in diced canadian bacon, sauted onions, garlic, mushrooms and fresh spinach. This did take a bit longer to cook since I added in all the "stuff" but I really liked it.
Tasty & Easy

Well I changed the recipe a bit. I had some leftover garlic oil pasta so I used that, I also sauteed some cubed ham before I added the cream instead of doing the ham steaks. The garlic pasta made all the difference in flavor. Since I was chagning things up I used gruyere cheese since that is my favorite cheese with ham! Thanks for a great idea and cleaning out some of my leftovers!!
good enough for company

I fixed this and I could not find the egg fettucini noodles in the store so I just used regular egg noodles. It came out kind of dry but had a good taste to it with the nutmeg. I had fun using my new microplane for the nutmeg.
Creamy and delicious

My kids love this recipe and so do their friends. I usually make half of the recipe and it fits nicely into a 10 inch skillet and feeds 3-4 people with a side salad. Wide egg noodles can be used in place of the egg fettucine. The reviews that say that this recipe is bland may have not used enough cheese or salt and pepper because every time I have made it was creamy, cheeesy and delicious. It is great hot, room temperature or straight out of the fridge the next day. I would not change anything about this recipe
Taste was flat

I was disappointed at how bland this was. It definitely did not live up to my expectations since my mouth was watering watching Rachel make it. It was very easy, but I'll have to kick it up somehow if I ever make it again.
In lieu of fish!

User: Deborah from Bethel Park, PA User Rating:
This has to be one of the easiest recipes of Rachael's. The only thing that actually takes some time is boiling the water for the noodles. My ONLY suggestion (from reading other reviews about being bland) is when you are heating the oil and butter together, I put in two small garlic cloves at this time, then completed the recipe as stated. Boy did that add the flavor! This was very delicious. If you don't like garlic (but how can you not with her recipes), try an onion. It helps!
Good Meal

This recipe was bland and boring, and full of calories. Next time, I'll forget the noodles and add lots of flavorful veggies.
TASTELESS

I used this recipe for Easter Brunch. That was my first mistake. Once this fritta sets and cools, it becomes very rubbery. I enjoy Fettucci Alfredo but this was very tasteless.

Make sure you have a very large skillet before undertaking this dish! It turned out well, and I would definitely recommend it. However, it took a lot of finagling with a smaller skillet, and the process would have been much smoother if I would have started with a larger one.
excellent

To the reviewer who wrote "Needs Something..."

User: Jaclyn from Littleton, CO User Rating:
Here are some ideas: Sausage is WONDERFUL in this dish. Sautee it up before melting butter and EVOO to the pan *also- you may want to add a little less butter or EVOO becausen the susage will render some fat after sauteeing sausage and melting butter and/or EVOO sautee up one garlic clove and one quarter of an onion bedfore continuing on with the recipe you might want to add some sharp cheddar in with the parmesan for a more intense cheesy flavor a few shakes of tabasco before baking adds a wonderful punch be sure you add plenty of salt- eggs are never any good without salt Remember: play it by ear: add any fresh herbs or veggies from your fridge and sautee them in the butter and EVOO-this recipe is pretty hard to mess up so make it into an omlette type thing-recipes should never be bland if you use a bit of imagination!
wonderful!

We made this for dinner tonight and loved it. I am now planning on taking this to our Easter Breakfast at church. It was so quick and easy and full of flavor. My husband is always thinking of ways to build on to something and we thought a little ham and onion would be good or using some feta and basil would also be a nice touch. Makes a lot so make sure your hungry.
Neat Idea, but Extremely Bland

Very attractive dish. As another reviewer stated, our mouths were watering as well while watching her prepare the dish. We cook a lot of her meals and have enjoyed almost all of them. My husband and I sat down excited, took our first bites and looked at each other blankly. The idea is good, so we may try it again, but flavor it up quite a bit. I normally don't put salt on anything, and if I find it bland, it's very bland. I think as someone else said, maybe garlic? Lower volume ratio of eggs to sauce? Sausage? More fresh herbs? It is worth a try....
Needs something...

Easy to make, and really beautiful to serve, but we found that it was lacking something. I'm keeping this recipe in my online recipe box to try with perhaps some added peppers, sausage...? If anyone else has added something to this recipe that gave it a bit more punch, I'd sure like to read that review. I also found the dish to be a bit on the dry side. Wondering if there's a sauce that could also be served with this as well.
NOT A HIT :(

I was very disappointed ~ hopefully I just did something wrong. I love her recipes but this one was VERY VERY VERY bland :( If you MUST make it, I strongly suggest adding sauteed onion, garlic, red pepper, and herbs... something...anything to give it flavor :( I went CRAZY trying to find the egg fettuccine and all for nothing :( I will say that the salad was yummy, though :)
Yum

I made this for Easter brunch. It was a big hit. We all decided that next time I make it I should cut the pasta into smaller pieces to make serving and eating it easier.
Add some herbs and shallots and this rocks!

User: Nicholas from Austin, TX User Rating:
This frittata is delicious and really easy to make. However, if you add some shallots, chives, and a little parsley, you can bring this badboy to a whole new level. Add these ingredients into the melted butter and oil, not to the egg mixture, and give them a minute or two to release their flavors. Then proceed as normal.

I really like this recipe, however, I do tweak it a little. Instead of regular parsley, I add either chopped cilantro or green onions. Additionally I add a combination of Italian cheeses; it just seemed to give it more zip.

It is an one of kind dish. I like the easy way it is to cook. It looks as though it will taste out of this world. Can't wait to cook it.

User: Susan from New Oxford, PA User Rating:
I wouldn't say I loved the flavor of this recipe, but I did really enjoy the technique and will definitely use it again. I added a little garlic, based on other reviews, but still felt it needed something - after all, neither eggs nor pasta have a ton of flavor. The next time I try it, I think I'll add a little bacon and some corn (for what it's worth). It is a really neat presentation, you can't help but get a kick out of the interior view of the frittata.
Yummy

I made this dish for the first time a year ago from watching the show (without a written recipe) and it came out great. It is unique and tastes great. It is a very rich treat.
