Ingredients

¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ fresh red chilli, seeded, chopped
2 medium zucchini, halved across, cut into six strips
9 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups cooked macaroni (about 2/3 cup raw)
100g baby spinach
½ cup (40g) grated parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped herbs
125g cherry tomatoes, halved
crusty bread and salad, to serve

Preparation

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-based frying pan on medium. Sauté garlic and chilli for 1 minute. Add zucchini and cook for a few minutes, until zucchini is crisp and tender.

Combine eggs, macaroni, spinach, parmesan, herbs and zucchini mixture in a bowl. Season to taste. Heat remaining oil in same pan on medium. Pour in mixture, arrange tomatoes on top and cook for 5-7 minutes, until partially set, pulling in edges so uncooked mixture runs underneath. Once underside is cooked, cover with a plate, invert frittata and slide uncooked side down into pan.

Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until completely set. Turn out and cut into
wedges to serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread and salad.
