  • On stove, heat butter over medium heat in medium sized skillet
  • Add chopped veggies and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender. Add fresh spinach and cook until just wilted- do not over-cook veggies. Then, add cooked pasta
  • Immediately add egg mixture to pan and gently disperse veggies and pasta evenly within egg mixture. Sprinkle ham on top.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, until egg mixture is cooked along edges. Transfer to oven, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until frittata is firm (not runny) in centre.
