This recipe is designed for those who wish to present a delicious and satisfying dish without lengthy waits or intricate steps. Everything comes together swiftly, allowing you to serve a rich and flavourful frittata in under half an hour, leaving you more time to savour the company.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick Overview<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Preparation Time: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Cooking Time: 18-20 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty: Easy<\/li>\n<li>Serves: 4-6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>6 large eggs<\/li>\n<li>3.5 oz (100g) diced pancetta<\/li>\n<li>7 oz (200g) fresh spinach (already washed)<\/li>\n<li>1.8 oz (50g) fresh ricotta<\/li>\n<li>1 oz (30g) grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 small onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>Salt and black pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Method<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan (approx. 9.5-10 inches \/ 24-26 cm) over a medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook for 5-7 minutes, until crispy and golden. Remove the pancetta and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Add the finely chopped onion to the same pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the fresh spinach and wilt for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced in volume.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the ricotta, grated Parmesan, a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix well until the mixture is homogenous.<\/li>\n<li>Distribute the spinach and onion evenly in the pan. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Return the crispy pancetta to the surface.<\/li>\n<li>Cook over a medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes without stirring, until the edges are set and the centre is almost firm. If your pan is oven-safe, you can finish the cooking under a pre-heated grill for 1-2 minutes for a perfect golden top.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges. It&#8217;s excellent accompanied by a simple green salad or toasted bread. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates and may vary depending on ingredients and portions.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Having a repertoire of recipes you can confidently replicate is a cornerstone of harmonious home cooking.
