Spaghetti (or superghetti…lol), how I love thee! I love that you give me endless options for quick delicious meals like spaghetti shrimp dinner or quick spaghetti in tomato sauce or even this spaghetti omelette that could pass for a frittata! Oh, how I love that I could have you for breakfast buried in an omelette!

You guys, pasta for breakfast? Count me IN! Especially when the pasta is cooked into a luscious omelette with fresh veggies, crispy on the outside, eggy on the side and just irresistible especially if you turn it into a Spaghetti Omelette Sandwich!

This spaghetti omelette is one of the reasons I love that I grew up in Cameroon! Cameroonians just know how to mix things together to make amazing food. Just imagine egg and spaghetti coming together for breakfast! And I tell you, they are a match made in culinary heaven!

What Is Spaghetti Omelette?

Spaghetti omelette is a delicious breakfast made by combining cooked spaghetti with beaten eggs and vegetables, then frying everything together until golden and set. It is sometimes called a pasta omelette or spaghetti frittata.

In Cameroon, this is a popular way to enjoy eggs and spaghetti, especially at local cafeterias and tea shops. It is also a wonderful way to give leftover pasta new life! Instead of throwing away the remaining spaghetti from the first day, you can turn it into a completely different meal the next day.

Ingredients for Spaghetti Omelette

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this easy pasta omelette:

• Cooked spaghetti: Leftover spaghetti works perfectly. You can also cook fresh spaghetti specifically for this recipe.
• Eggs: Free-range eggs or regular eggs both work. Beat them in a large bowl before combining with the pasta.
• Vegetables: Onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes add flavor and color. Cherry tomatoes are a tasty option.
• Seasonings: Salt and black pepper enhance the flavor. I love using white pepper.
• Oil: Use a little olive oil or your preferred cooking oil for frying.
• Fresh herbs: Parsley or other fresh herbs add freshness.

Tips for Making the Best Spaghetti Omelette

• Use spaghetti that has cooled to room temperature before mixing with the eggs.
• Cut long spaghetti strands into shorter pieces for easier mixing and serving.
• Combine the pasta and egg mixture thoroughly so every strand gets coated.
• Cook over medium heat to allow the eggs to set without burning the bottom of the pan.
• Use a nonstick frying pan to make flipping easier.
• Don’t make the omelette too thick, or the middle may remain undercooked.
• Allow the omelette to set before slicing.

Spaghetti Omelette vs. Italian Pasta Frittata

Did you know that Italy has a similar dish called frittata di maccheroni? This Neapolitan recipe, also known as Neapolitan spaghetti frittata, is part of Neapolitan cuisine.

Like this Cameroonian spaghetti omelette, it transforms leftover pasta into a delicious meal using beaten eggs. However, Italian recipes may include grated cheese, herbs, and other ingredients.

A pasta frittata is often thicker and can be finished in the oven using a baking tray or oven-safe pan. Both dishes are delicious ways to transform leftover pasta!

How to Store and Reheat Spaghetti Omelette

If you have leftover spaghetti frittata, allow it to cool and refrigerate it in an airtight container within two hours of cooking. Enjoy within 3 to 4 days.

To reheat, warm individual slices in a frying pan over medium-low heat or microwave until steaming hot.

You can enjoy it for breakfast the next day, or serve it as a tasty lunch with a fresh salad. Buon appetito!

This spaghetti omelette is the kind of breakfast I dream of having every morning. Loaded with all the nutrients, fresh, filling and insanely delicious! I grew up eating this spaghetti omelette occasionally from cafeterias in Cameroon. It was always such a special treat! And it is even better when made at home because you can customize to add other veggies/proteins you like. Some may refer to this as a spaghetti frittata. It is quite close to a frittata. Enjoy this African Breakfast Recipe!

Instructions 

• Place tomato, onion, bell pepper, parsley,  cracked eggs and white pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle seasoning cube (Maggi) on top. Beat with a fork to combine then add the spaghetti and mix well to combine.
• Heat oil in a skillet on high for 2 minutes then reduce the heat to low and pour the spaghetti and egg mixture into the skillet. Spread to ensure that it is evenly distributed in the skillet then let it cook on very low heat for about 8 minutes until the egg sets. Flip to the other side and let it cook for another 3 minutes.
• Serve warm!

Notes

1. I boiled an 8-ounce pack of spaghetti then measured out a cup and a half for this recipe. You should boil the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Salt your water before boing and after boiling, do not rinse. That way, no extra salt is needed in the recipe.

2. Feel free to add some chili pepper or a little freshly chopped habanero pepper if you want some heat in this recipe. OR just serve with some hot sauce on the side.

3. Customise your spaghetti omelette as you like. You could add other chopped veggies like different colored bell peppers, chopped celery, etc. You could equally add other forms of protein like sausage, ham, canned sardines, or even cheese.

4. It is key to let the omelette cook on low heat in this recipe. If you let it cook on high heat. the egg will burn without it cooking through. So low heat is best to ensure it cooks thoroughly.
