- Crack the eggs into a bowl; add grated Parmesan, salt and parsley. Beat well with a fork or a whisk.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the leftover pasta, spreading it all over the surface of the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until the pasta becomes golden and crisp.
- Pour in egg mixture; swirl the pan to spread it evenly over the pasta. Cover with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan every so often.
- Flip the frittata and cook for 5 minutes longer. Keep shaking the pan to prevent it from sticking.
- Transfer onto a serving plate lined with kitchen paper to drain off any oil. Slice into quarters and serve hot or at room temperature.
