Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh garlic
- 1 cup diced green peppers
- 1 cup diced red peppers
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 pound fresh spinach leaves

- 1/4 cup chopped basil

Directions
In a saute pan and over a high heat, add the olive oil, fresh garlic, red and green peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook until vegetables are slightly softened, and then add the spinach and ham and let simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture well and add it to a slightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.
In a separate bowl combine the eggs and half-and-half, and mix well with a wire whisk. Add the combination to the baking pan along with the Parmesan, mozzarella, fresh basil, and spaghetti. Mix all the ingredients together gently.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking pan in the middle rack and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Then remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Garnish the pasta frittata with Parmesan and fresh parsley and serve.

This dish is a good idea and an easy way to enjoy vegetables. It was lacking some in interest even with the basil, needs a good bit of salt and more vegetables than called for. Will work with this as it just needs flavor, might try doing it with cooked sausage. I halved the recipe and baked it in a deep pie dish

Not sure if it was just my stove or not but this did take about 10 to 15 minutes longer to cook for me.
I did alter the recipe a bit. The ingredients I used were cooked crumbled sausage, cooked asparagus (cut into 1/2 pieces and lightly steamed, onion and red pepper.
Also realized that I did not have any half-and-half so used a mixture of 1/2 light cream and half skim milk. Still came out good though!
All in all this recipe was a good basis for me to follow to create my own frittata.
Note: According to this recipe it serves 6. Those are large serving sizes.
