Ingredients
8 items- 500 gPasta (bucatini)Any pasta shape; bucatini recommended by the chef
- 4.5 pcsUova medie4 or 5 medium eggs
- 100 gSalame NapoliSliced thickly
- 250 gFior di LatteSubstitute with provola if preferred
- 100 gGrated CheeseParmigiano or Pecorino
- Salt(optional) — To taste
- Pepper(optional) — To taste
- Frying OilFor frying
Method
- Cook the pasta al dente, then toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking and let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and grated cheese.
- Heat a generous layer of oil in a 22 cm non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Spread half of the cooled pasta evenly in the pan.
- Arrange slices of salame Napoli in the center, leaving the borders free.
- Add pieces of fior di latte cheese over the salame.
- Cover with the remaining pasta, then put the lid on and cook gently on low heat.
- Occasionally use a spatula to loosen the edges and check the bottom; it should become golden.
- When the bottom is golden, loosen the edges well, place a lid (with no internal bevels) on top, flip the pan decisively, then slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side.
- Smooth the edges with a spatula, add a tiny drizzle of oil around the edges, and cook without lid on low heat until the bottom is well colored.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5–10 minutes to firm up, then slide onto a plate to serve.
