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!

My ex-husbands old aunt made something like this with a lb of cooked pasta, a dozen eggs, about a 1/2 C of black pepper and a bunch of parmesan cheese, mix well put that into a 9 X 13 and bake it at 350 for 1/2 hr? cool and cut into cubes. It was yummy, but she would never give anyone the recipe, she passed away a few years ago. This is the closest I've seen to that and can't wait to try it!

This is a good stand by recipe for me. I make it whenever I want something fast, easy and delicious. Can be cut into pieces to serve as an appetizer with a dollop of marinara. To all those who rate it bland, remember that a recipe is just a guideline and can be changed to suite personal tastes. I sometimes use Egg Beaters instead of whole eggs and use much more fontina, since I love it. Adding garlic and basil, and roasted red peppers makes it different but very good. I like the idea other reviewers had of adding Italian sausage or chicken. I might try that next time. Maybe even arugula, another favorite flavor of mine. The concept of the dish is great just change it to suit your taste!

This is a great recipe for college kids. Last night for dinner I made some pasta and sauce for friends. Today I used up the left overs to make this lovely dish. It went over extremely well for breakfast.

I threw in onions and chopped up leftover meatballs, which I think was key! I don't personally like this dish cold, I like it almost right out of the pan. Great meal!

When I saw Giada make this, I had to try it! To make it a little more healthy, I used whole wheat pasta. I don't care for the texture of sun dried tomatoes, so, I substituted a 10oz. jar of Classico Sun Dried Tomato Pesto (found with other jarred pasta sauces. Anyway, with these two "tweeks", it's a delicious and easy dinner for my family!

This recipe was so quick and easy. My family and I just loved it. Not only did it taste great, but it also looked beautiful. I did change the recipe slightly. I didn't have any fontina so I used mozzarella, added about a cup of mushrooms to the mix, and instead of using plain olive oil, I used the olive oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes. Yummy!

I made this for lunch one day and my roommates (it's a bachelor pad here loved it. The recipe is great for substitution, since I didn't have some of the ingredients. I made some extra pasta so I added an egg, as well as a table spoon of tomato paste and I sauteed one onion and three large cloves of garlic. I also added only about one cup of Parm, but I think next time I'll do the 3/4 and then add some ricotta to lighten the mix. It came out dense, crispy, and really filling! Try it with a mesclun salad, baby spinach (another added ingredient to try! and maybe a grilled piece of fish. Awesome!

For those of you who complained that this recipe is bland, I recommend that you get more creative with what you used. I drained and toweled dry my sun-dried tomatoes in oil...hence, no oily problem.
I also added caramelized onions, which was the winning combo. I did add some red pepper flakes which gave some kick to this easy dish. I had a shredded cheese combo from Trader Joe's with Asiago, Parm and Fontina. It was just fine. I was tired and hungry, last night, and this recipe was really easy and fast. This will be a keeper recipe, because it's so easy.
