The pasta frittata recipe card is laid out in three clear sections. A banner at the top lists serves four, total time of twenty minutes, and an estimated cost of eighty cents per serving. Below that, an ingredients list on a torn-paper graphic calls for two cups of leftover cooked pasta, five eggs, a quarter cup of grated parmesan or any hard cheese, salt and pepper, olive oil, and optional add-ins like cooked meat, wilted greens, or diced vegetables. A photograph of a sliced frittata in a cast iron skillet sits beside the ingredients, and five numbered instruction steps fill the lower half of the card.

This is one of the pages in the Cheap and Healthy Food Recipes collection aimed squarely at using up odds and ends before they go to waste. The five steps are generous in line spacing, making them easy to follow while cooking rather than requiring a second read. Print one copy to slip into a weekly meal plan folder or keep a laminated version on the counter for repeat use on pasta-leftover nights.
