It is a combination of pasta and omelette with its slightly crunchy, golden exterior and creamy, soft interior. It is also a go-to dish when a quick, child-friendly dinner is required. Feel free to add chopped ham, chopped salami, peas, cooked chopped pancetta, chopped spring onion, a cup of tomato sauce or chopped mixed herbs such as basil, parsley and thyme to the mix. You can even stuff the omelette. Just put half the pasta mixture into the pan, add a layer of sliced tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, salami and/or mozzarella, scamorza or provola cheese and top with the remaining pasta mixture. Cook as per the recipe below.
