Torta di Pasta


Submitted by vivi85

Makes 6 servings

Perfect for leftover spaghetti and you can find all the ingredients in your fridge or pantry. Substitute fontina for either gruyere, gouda, or feta.

Ingredients
8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil (drained and chopped)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup grated fontina
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
  1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain. Toss with the sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside to cool completely otherwise the hot pasta could curdle the eggs when you add them later on.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper, Parmesan, and fontina to blend. Add the cooled spaghetti mixture; toss to coat.

  3. Preheat the broiler. Melt the butter and oil in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the skillet, pressing to form an even layer. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler. Broil until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cool in the skillet to room temperature.

  4. Invert the torta onto a platter. Cut into wedges and serve at room temperature.
