Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 3/4 cup grated fontina
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain. Toss with the sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside to cool completely otherwise the hot pasta could curdle the eggs when you add them later on.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper, Parmesan, and fontina to blend. Add the cooled spaghetti mixture; toss to coat.
Preheat the broiler. Melt the butter and oil in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the skillet, pressing to form an even layer. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler. Broil until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cool in the skillet to room temperature.
Invert the torta onto a platter. Cut into wedges and serve at room temperature.

Great recipe that can be flavored to taste to make it even better. My favorite way to fix this one is with the addition of a little fresh basil, fresh oregano and fresh flat leaf parsley along about 1/3 pound of fried pancette diced very small.

I really love this recipe....I add fresh basil and use roasted red peppers instead of the sun dried tomatoes (the hubby doesn't like them I also throw in a few capers.
This is a great go to recipe!!!

This is a good recipe, but very bland if you make it as written (hence the 3 star rating. Spice it up with a good dollup of basil pesto, or sundried tomato pesto, or even just a good glug of pasta sauce stirred in to the egg mixture. Top it off with some fresh cracked black pepper and some chilli flakes. Delish!
