Spaghetti Artichoke And Zucchini Frittata Recipes

ARTICHOKE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved marinade from the artichoke hearts in a large skillet. Cook and stir green onions in hot marinade until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir cooked green onions, eggs, Cheddar cheese, saltine crackers, parsley, garlic, hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center is puffy and no longer moist, about 40 minutes; cool slightly before cutting into squares.

ARTICHOKE HEART FRITTATA

Steps:

• If using fresh artichokes, steam until tender or boil gently in a pot of generously salted water, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, refresh with cold water and quarter the artichokes. Thaw frozen artichokes as directed, and drain off any liquid in the bowl.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, about 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the artichokes. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about five to eight minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with a spatula in your other hand, so that the eggs run underneath during the few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet) and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula, tilting the pan so that the bottom doesn't burn. Instead it should turn a deep golden brown. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
• Finish the omelet under the broiler for one to two minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. (It should brown slightly, and it will puff under the broiler.) Remove from the heat and immediately sprinkle on the Parmesan or pecorino. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

ZUCCHINI TOMATO PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a oven-proof 10-inch skillet (or a large skillet) melt butter and sauté the onions, zucchini and tomatoes for 2-3 minutes (this can be done hours in advance).
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs with half and half cream, basil and Romano or Parmesan cheese.
• Add in sautéed zucchini mixture, pasta, seasoning salt (or regular salt) and pepper; mix well to combine.
• Heat oil in the frypan.
• Add in the egg/pasta mixture; tossing with a spatula or metal tongs for 3 minutes on top of stove.
• At this point you can sprinkle Parmesan, grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese ON TOP of the frittata before baking if desired, but it is optional.
• Set oven to 400°F and transfer the frypan to the oven.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are set and puffed (try not to over bake, or you frittata will be dry).
• Remove from oven and allow frittata to set for about 1 minute, then unmold onto serving platter.
• Cut into wedges and serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to ~375.
• Heat oil in cast iron skillet (or a different oven-proof skillet) over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes until just starting to brown.
• Add zucchini, saute for 1-2 minutes.
• Add spaghetti squash, artichokes (optional), salt, and pepper; saute a 4-6 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
• Spread mixture evenly in pan.
• Add broth or water to eggs, mix, and pour over top of mix.
• Swirl the pan around to get the egg into every nook & cranny.
• Turn heat down a tish and cook until bottom of egg is set.
• Top mixture with shredded cheese and place into oven until cheese is melted (~5 min).
• Switch oven to broil and broil until cheese is golden brown.
• Remove and cool for ~10 minute.
• Cut, serve, and enjoy!

ZUCCHINI AND ARTICHOKE FRITTERS

Steps:

• For the farmhouse dressing: Put mayo, sour cream, buttermilk and red wine vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth.
• Add the dill, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder and salt and whisk until well combined.
• For the fritters: Toss grated zucchini with pinch of salt. Place in a colander with a plate on top to push down. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove zucchini from colander and squeeze with a dish towel to remove any excess moisture.
• Put butter and salt in a medium saucepan with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon or sturdy whisk until mixture comes together, about 1 minute. Lower heat and cook for 1 minute more.
• Transfer dough to bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed to cool mixture slightly. Increase speed and begin to add eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. (Let dough come back together after the addition of each egg.)
• After final egg has been added, beat until dough is smooth and glossy, about a minute more. Stop machine and add grated cheese, parsley and pepper, then mix briefly to combine. (See Cook's Note.)
• Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped artichokes. Scrape down sides of bowl and remix, then transfer mixture to a disposable pastry bag. (Mixture can also be dispensed into oil using a 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop.)
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or several inches oil in a heavy-sided pot to 350 degrees F. Cut about 1 1/2 inches off the end of the pastry bag. (The more you cut, the larger the fritters will be.) Squeeze bag and pinch off a quarter-size amount of dough, then slowly drop into the oil.
• Use a slotted spoon to move fritters around in the oil so they cook on all sides. Remove after 4 to 5 minutes. Toss with some more grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve with farmhouse dressing.
