400g leftover spaghetti bolognese (about 1 portion) or 275g cooked pasta and 125g Bolognese sauce

6 British Lion eggs

Handful of basil, chopped (optional)

50g Parmesan, finely grated

Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Heat your oil in a 24cm non-stick frying pan. Add the egg mixture, then use a fork to make sure the pasta is spread out evenly. Turn the heat down to low and cook for about 5 mins until the eggs are mostly set around the sides. Meanwhile, heat the grill to a low setting.

Top the frittata (which should still be runny on top) with the remaining cheese and scatter over the tomatoes. Place under the grill for 4-5 mins or until golden and the eggs are set. Remove from the grill and leave to stand for 5 mins before sliding out onto a chopping board to serve.

Scatter with extra basil and enjoy.
