The “Frittata di Maccheroni” or pasta omelette is a typical Neapolitan preparation, a hearty and really delicious single dish.
It is usually prepared with the leftover pasta of the day before to add eggs, cheese, especially mozzarella, scamorza or caciocavallo cheese, bacon, ham or with what you have in the fridge, but it can also be made with freshly drained pasta.
The pasta omelette can be enjoyed hot and it is also excellent cold: it is the perfect street food to try!
Many Neapolitans love to enjoy it in summer, as a lunch on the beach.
