Ingredients
Materials

Preparation
Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl with grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
Drain spaghetti al dente and stir-fry in a pan with butter.
Now pour the spaghetti into the bowl with the egg mixture and stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
Spray the bottom of the mold and the edges with release spray (or line with baking paper), then arrange the noodles and level them.
Cook the pasta frittata in an air fryer (air Fry mode) for 7 minutes at 390°F/200°C, then for 3 minutes at 350°F/180°C.
When cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. Then run a knife between the frittata and the edge of the mold to unmold it more easily.
Plate and serve. Your pasta frittata is ready!

1- 2 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with food wrap.
How to tell if the pasta frittata in air fryer is cooked?
Not all air fryers cook the same way so to check if it is cooked, we recommend using a wooden toothpick (or the tip of a knife). Sink it into the pasta frittata; if it comes out dry, it's ready!

You can use scamorza cheese and grated pecorino cheese to give it even more flavor. If you want a non-vegetarian version, you can also add diced cold cuts.

If you are using single-portion molds without baking paper, we recommend running a knife between the pasta frittata and the edge of the mold. It will come off more easily.

There are 3 solutions:
- Use release spray.

Sure. We used single-portion molds but you can use a larger mold. Be careful because cooking times may change.
