Frittata Primavera
Originally published Feb 2008
Sunday brunch this week begins with leftover pasta prima vera and leftover baked ham that we had earlier this week.
Spouses favorite brunch is a frittata and this one is becoming a standard at our house. That’s because herself is also very fond of Pasta Primavera as well so there are very often leftovers available for this recipe.
Add the muffins from yesterday’s recipe to your meal and that will be a very satisfying brunch indeed.
