Sunday Supper…Penne Frittata with Basil and Ricotta
Sunday, November 21, 2010 at 03:56AM
Man, it's been a long week. The opening of the new online shop has been great! Thank you sooooo much for the fantastic response. I'm exhausted, and I'm sure you’re tired of hearing about it, so let's cook up something wonderful for Sunday Supper.
We serve lots of pasta at our house because it's just one of our favorite things to eat. Tonight it's Penne Frittata with Basil and Ricotta from the blog Sunday Suppers. Just found the blog, so I promise I didn't copy when I started this series months ago. I'm sure glad I found them. They are doing some amazing things in New York. Wish I lived there and could attend one of their fabulous events. Karen Mordechai is a fabulous photographer.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk, ricotta, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in cooked pasta and chopped basil.
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add oil; swirl to coat bottom and sides of skillet. Pour in egg mixture, and cook until edges are just beginning to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven, and bake until eggs are completely set, 10 to 12 minutes. Invert onto a plate, and re-invert onto a serving dish. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges. Garnish with basil.
Yum, yum! I can hardly wait to dig in.
Don't you just love Sunday evenings at home? Particularly this time of year. Nothing like a roaring fire!
Tonight with Thanksgiving around the corner and the Christmas holiday just ahead, I plan to be still, reflective, and very, very thankful. It's been a long week, and a real blessing because of all of you.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk, ricotta, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in cooked pasta and chopped basil.
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add oil; swirl to coat bottom and sides of skillet.

After working outside all day the only thing I'm going to do tonight is put my feet up and enjoy the warmth of a burning fire. That frittata sounds wonderful and I love that there's a twist in it with pasta.
Oh Debra! I don't blame you. I hope your husband is going to draw you a hot bath and go pick dinner up to bring in. Hint, Hint!!
Mona, This dish sounds fabulous and I have already copied it to make later. Thanks for sharing this.
