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.



Ingredients:

Eggs – 4 no
Whipping cream/Milk – 2 tsps
Parmesan Cheese – ½ cup
Penne Pasta – 1 ½ cup
Freshly chopped Thyme leaves – 2 tsps
Freshly chopped Parsley leaves – 1 tsp
Lemon Zest - 1 no small
Salt – ¼ tsp ( or as Required)
Grounded Pepper – ¼ tsp
Red Chilli Powder – ½ tsp
Garam Masala Powder – 1tsp
Oil – 1 1/2 tsp

Preparation

  • Boil Pasta in water, based on the instructions given in the packet or till cooked. 
  • After cooked remove water from pasta and keep aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream.
