"This is CrAzY good! A great way to use up leftover pasta. I have made this twice now, the 2nd time making it in a 9" pie plate. Can also be made in 12 muffin tins for a fun and easy serving presentation. I would suggest recipe#496356 to crisp up the prosciutto. Serve with recipe#546010 Prep include time to bake the prosciutto. Another recipe from my Italian cooking class & Giada De Laurentiis."

Ingredients:: 13
Serves:: 6-8

ingredients

¹⁄₂ lb linguine
7 large eggs
¹⁄₂ cup whole milk
¹⁄₄ cup heavy cream or 1/4 cup whole milk
¹⁄₂ cup mascarpone cheese
6 ounces prosciutto, baked to crispy Crispy Prosciutto - Baked, chopped
5 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, shredded or 1 cup smoked mozzarella cheese
¹⁄₂ cup asiago cheese, freshly grated or 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese
¹⁄₄ cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt, can use less
³⁄₄ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¹⁄₈ teaspoon nutmeg

directions

If baking the prosciutto, preheat oven to 350°. Baking will take 13-15 minutes. This can be done ahead of time.
Preheat oven to 375°F for baking frittata
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender but firm to the bite (al dente), about 8-10 minutes for linguine.
Drain the pasta in a colander. While the pasta is still in the colander, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the pasta into smaller pieces. Pasta should measure about 3 cups.
Generously grease with nonstick spray, a large 9" pie plate OR 12 cup muffin tins.
In a blender combine eggs, milk , cream, mascarpone cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg & garlic. Blend until well combined.
In a large bowl add the cut pasta, proscuitto, mozzarella, Asiago and parsley. Stir to combine.
Fill the pie plate OR muffin tins with pasta mixture. Each muffin tin will be about 1/3 C of the mixture. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta. The tins should be filled almost to the top.
Bake until firm and cooked through: about 40-45 for a pie plate OR 30-35 minutes for muffin tins. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before serving.
If making muffins: cool & removing from the tins. You may wish to slide a knife blade around each muffin cup to help release the frittatas.
If baked ina pie plate, cool, cut into 6-8 portions.
Arrange on a serving platter or individual plates.
Enjoy!
