Okay so this is the EASIEST satisfying recipe and perfect for dinner tonight.

Here’s the deal:

You can use whatever veggies you want. Whatever you have on hand. I used baby bella mushrooms, shallots and baby kale. You can use broccoli, bacon, peas, peppers – seriously, whatever you have on hand!

You can use leftover roasted vegetables from dinner last night. Or you don’t have to use any vegetables at all – use bacon or pancetta or ham or even chicken. The options are seriously endless! This is such a versatile meal. 

From a former vegetable hater, I suggest not skipping the veg. If you can handle it. Because this is such a great way to get some in (especially ones like spinach or red pepper) without straight up eating a bowl of vegetables.

You can also use leftover pasta too. This is actually such a great recipe for leftover pasta – and if you are making a meal plan for the next coming days, you can prep pasta ahead of time earlier in the week to have this. You can use ANY kind of noodle. If it’s a long noodle – cut it up. If it’s penne or shells or bowties, you’re good to go. 

I used campanelle because it’s cute! HELLO.

Another reason it’s the best meal ever? It’s good COLD. Yes! 

Now of course, I prefer it warm because I’m slightly high maintenance.

But you can eat it cold straight from the fridge. It also reheats well, so there’s that.

Add a ton of cheese or just a little cheese. Make it taco-inspired with some scallions and salsa and black beans. Seriously, you can do ANYTHING with this!

Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet (about a 10-inch) over medium-low heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoons butter and once melted, add in the shallots and mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper. Stir in the 2 to 3 cups greens, pasta and parmesan until combined.
  • Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to stir and even everything out. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center is set.
  • While the frittata bakes, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the greens with the olive oil + lemon juice and toss.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with the dressed spring greens and extra parmesan!
