    Today I'm sharing a simple recipe that provides a really great way to use up leftover spaghetti or other pasta. These monster spaghetti frittata bites are so simple to make a child could do it (so a great recipe to get your children helping you in the kitchen!) and can really help to cut food waste if, like me, you often find yourself with too much cooked spaghetti on your hands!

    Great recipe to use up leftover spaghetti - make these fun monster spaghetti frittata bites recipe - cute food for kids with zero waste from Eats Amazing UK

    Monster Spaghetti Frittata Bites

    Ingredients

    • 200g cooked spaghetti
    • Handful of chopped vegetables (see note below)
    • 50g cheddar or mozzarella cheese
    • 4 medium eggs
    • ½ tsp mixed herbs
    • salt & pepper to taste

    Method

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.  Line a muffin tin with 12 silicone cupcake cases.

    Roughly chop the spaghetti into smaller pieces and place into a mixing bowl.  Prepare your vegetables and grate the cheese, then add to the bowl with the spaghetti and mix together. Break the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk, then add the eggs to the spaghetti mixture along with the herbs and seasoning.  Stir well until completely combined.

    Carefully spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases.  Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and golden.

    Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving warm.  Alternatively, cool completely and then store in the fridge for packing in lunch boxes or for a healthy snack.

    To turn the the frittata bites into cute monsters, remove each bite from the cupcake case and top with fun eye bento picks.

    NOTE: For the vegetables, use a handful of whatever you have to hand (saving even more food waste in the process!). I chopped up about a quarter of a yellow pepper, some cherry tomatoes and a spring onion for these, but you could also try adding grated carrot or courgette, peas, sweetcorn, finely chopped onions, chopped spinach, sugar snap peas, mange tout or even ham or cooked prawns - whatever you have available in your fridge or freezer!

      Utter genius! The love Plutonium Sox shared these and I'm so pleased as I'm TERRIBLE at spaghetti measuring! No matter how hard I try, I always end up with enough for a family of 12.
