Frittatas are open faced omelets that are sturdier than traditional French omelets and therefore easier to make. They are sometimes baked in the oven and sometimes cooked on the stove. This one is cooked my favorite way: partially cooked on the stovetop, then finished under the broiler. Frittatas are a great way to use up leftover pasta or bread crumbs, and they're ready in about 20 minutes, start to finish so they're a great choice for a quick dinner.

First print out the recipe for Cheesy Pasta Frittata. You can cook pasta just for the dish, or use leftover cooked spaghetti, fettuccine, or linguine.

Coarsely chop 1/2 cup green bell pepper and start it sauteing in a 8" nonstick skillet over medium heat in 1 Tbsp. butter and 2 Tbsp. olive oil.
