2 tablespoons olive oil

directions

Coat a shallow 3-quart baking dish with nonstick olive oil spray.
If the pasta is cold, reheat it in the microwave, then place it in the prepared pan.
Add the milk, egg, and Romano cheese, mixing well.
Spread the mixture to cover the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the pan; set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°; in a big skillet, heat the oil; cook onion and peppers over medium heat about 4 minutes or until just softened.
Add in garlic, oregano, and basil; cook 1 minute.
In a small bowl, whisk the milk with the eggs; stir the egg mixture and beans into the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
Spoon the filling into the prepared spaghetti crust.
Spread the tomatoes over the top; sprinkle with the cheese.
Cover with foil; bake 15 minutes; uncover and bake 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly; let stand 10 minutes before cutting into squares to serve.

LOVE this! I make pasta pizza's as I like to call them all the time with leftovers and love them. This recipe was no diffrent. I had tons of peppers and onions left over from a taco night and wanted to use them up so this was perfect. The topping or filling for it was great! I scaled this down a lot and made it all in a skillet. Love the mixture of peppers and white beans. Very good!

Had some leftover spaghetti so made this for dinner last night. It was good, filling and tasty but not quite as good as my Fettucine Frittata which is based on the same principal. Thanks for posting though!
