Harissa & Feta Pasta Frittata....... left over quick dinner for hubby

Ok so I get home from work on Wednesday and have zero food in the house....... Ive been away with work this week and I've not got around to doing the food shop yet. Chris is going to be late home and I have a starving child. Opening the fridge I stare at it in the hope for some inspiration. In my head I'm mentally doing 'Ready steady cook' to see what i can pull together. (Secretly I quite like the challenge as sometimes you can come up with a great new dish)

Ok so I have pasta, tinned tomatoes, soft cheese - excellent I can make a quick pasta dish for Eryn then worry about Chris later.

Ingredients

- Pasta
- Tinned Tomatoes
- Dried Italian herbs
- Salt/ Pepper if you want to use
- Philadelphia
- Vegetable Oil
- 2 cloves of Garlic
- Onion - chopped as small as you can

Method

- Add the Oil to the pan and add finely chopped onion and garlic - cook until soft
- Add the chopped tomatoes and a sprinkle of Italian herbs
- Turn down the heat and simmer
- Heat water in a pan and add the pasta - cook according to instructions.
- Drain the pasta and add the tomato sauce
- Serve

Eryn added feta cheese and parmesan to her dish to decorate.....

Ok so I overdid the pasta quantities and have loads left over....... so Im now thinking what can I do with this to make it interesting for Chris when he gets home.

Ingredients

- Leftover pasta from above
- 3 eggs - beaten
- 1 tbsp Harissa paste
- feta cheese crumbled
- Sweetcorn

Method

- Turn on the oven to apron 180C
- Spoon in the Harissa paste into the leftover pasta
- Heat a frying pan with a little oil- ideally a skillet or small frying pan
- Add the leftover pasta
- Poor over the beaten egg and flatten down the pasta into the egg with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Cook on a low heat for approx 8 mins
- Sprinkle on the drained sweetcorn and crumbled feta cheese
- Add to the oven and cook for a further 5-10 mins until the egg is set in the middle.
- for extra colour finish off under the grill

Result!!! A new dish that was created with a few standard left over ingredients
