Spaghetti and Pesto Egg Frittata

Spaghetti and Pesto Egg Frittata brings silky duck eggs together with ricotta and Parmesan for a rich, creamy bite, brightened by basil pesto and tender mixed vegetables. Twirls of leftover spaghetti add a fun, satisfying texture that sets this apart from a typical frittata. Serve it warm for brunch, a cozy breakfast, or a light dinner when you want something comforting yet fresh.

    Place the vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on High until thawed, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well.

    Melt the butter in an ovenproof nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the steamed vegetables and toss to coat.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
