- 1 level tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives, plus a few for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling water for 8-12 mins, or as directed on packet, until it's just tender, then drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small frying pan and add the bacon. Cook it over a medium heat for 4-5 mins, until it's just starting to brown. Add the spring onion to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 mins.
- Lightly beat together the eggs, crème fraîche, mustard, chopped chives and seasoning.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and mix well with the bacon and onion, then pour the egg mixture over. Cover the pan and cook over a low-to-medium heat for about 10-15 mins, or until the egg has set.
- Turn out the frittata on to a plate and serve it hot, warm or cold, cut into wedges. (Not suitable for freezing).
