Ingredients

  • 500 g spaghetti
  • 125 g pancetta cubed
  • 6 –8 eggs
  • 100 g grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of salted water for about 5 minutes, until very al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a frying pan over medium heat for 5–6 minutes until golden and slightly crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and allow to cool.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk lightly. Add the cooked pancetta and grated parmesan, mixing well.
  • Stir in the cooled spaghetti until it is fully coated in the egg mixture. If the mixture looks slightly dry, add another egg.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and pour in the spaghetti mixture, spreading it evenly.
  • Cook for about 7 minutes until the underside is golden. Carefully flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 7 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Storage and Reheating

Leftover spaghetti tortilla keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Store slices in an airtight container and reheat gently in a frying pan or microwave. It can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge.
If reheating in a pan, warm the slices over low heat until heated through.
