Thyme Pasta Frittata with Desi Touch

Few month’s back I watched Giada’s cooking show in food network where she made Thyme Pasta Frittata which was good and a great recipe. Then immediately I tried it out as my husband would like it as he is a Pasta lover.

Used her recipe as a base and made couple of changes by giving desi touch to it. By adding garam masala, red chilli powder and made use of less cheese.

This is an excellent Pasta Frittata recipe as it is full of herbs and lemon zest and a great recipe for brunch and picnics.
