Yummly## What is a frittata? The frittata is the Italian cousin to quiche - basically a big, veggie-packed omelet. The traditional cooking approach often involves stirring, broiling or (eek!) flipping the eggs to make sure it's fully cooked and golden brown. This easy spinach frittata recipe skips the tricky bits: Instead, the eggs cook all the way through in the oven. The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Edwina Clark, RDN](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/edwina-clark-rdn). ## What veggies can go into a frittata? The frittata is a very flexible dish: Making one from whatever veggies are in the fridge is a common approach. Asparagus, red bell pepper, green onions, and fresh spinach are all delicious. In this recipe, sun-dried tomatoes infuse flavor into the eggs and baby spinach rounds out the flavors. It’s a flavorful spin on the classic spinach frittata. Don't forget at least a pinch of salt and a few good grinds of black pepper. Frozen spinach works perfectly as long as you thaw it and squeeze out the extra water before adding it in. For good looks and a punch of bright flavor, you can “float” a few grape tomatoes on top of the egg mixture right before it goes into the oven. ## So...just veggies? Heavens no. Meat, cheese, and milk are all welcome additions. Parmesan cheese is the classic flavor booster, but anything you’d put in an omelet works: sausage, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, ham, up to a 1/4 cup of cream or whole milk. If you add bacon, you can skip the salt. If you leave out meat and cheese entirely, you may need up to one teaspoon salt. Be sure to cook any meat ahead of time: A few minutes in a frying pan on medium heat will do it for bacon. Whatever your final mix, ground black pepper is a must-have. ## How to cook a frittata Remember to preheat the oven just as soon as you get into the kitchen - part of the secret to the gloriously quick cooking time (total time of 15 to 20 minutes) is high oven heat (425º F). You’ll need all of your sundried-tomato-cutting / egg-whisking time for the oven to preheat. Pan size is somewhat flexible: A 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan is perfect for this. However, if you don’t have either, improvise: A pie pan, well coated with nonstick spray (or olive oil or butter), will also work. ## An easy make-ahead dish There are several different ways to create a make-ahead frittata. The simplest: Cook it the night before and serve it cold straight from the fridge. Frittata is one of those rare dishes that tastes good warm, cold, or at room temperature. Another make-ahead option is to combine the ingredients in a large bowl the day before. Store it sealed in the fridge, preheat oven in the morning and pour egg mixture straight into your pan to cook. If grating Parmesan before you’ve had your first (or fourth) cup of coffee is not for you, having everything prepped the night before can be a lifesaver. ## Is a frittata healthy? That depends on what “healthy” means to you - it’s gluten-free, high in protein and low carb. It’s perfect for a keto diet - and see below for a paleo frittata variation, if that’s your style. Frittata is also vegetarian (assuming you don’t add meat) and an easy way to get your veggies (if you fill it with veggies). It’s also high-fat, because it’s chock-full of eggs. But you knew that, right? A frittata can be made with egg whites (or some egg whites and some whole eggs) to reduce the fat content. ## Side dishes to serve with frittata What goes well with a frittata? Something bright and crunchy (like a salad), salty (like ham), or carby (toast or biscuits) are all good choices. Serve a frittata with bacon and crispy potatoes for a breakfast feast, or with a green salad for a classy weekend brunch. Another option is to reflect the veggies in the frittata: A Tex-Mex green chile and jack cheese frittata pairs well with sour cream, salsa, and sliced avocado. A feta frittata is perfect with a greek salad full of red onion and olives dressed with lemon and extra virgin olive oil.Food52Budget Bytes » Recipes » Globally Inspired Recipes » Asian Inspired Recipes » Garlic Noodles Garlic Noodles $2.54 recipe / $0.64 serving by Beth - Budget Bytes published Dec 3, 2009updated Jul 28, 2015 4.78 from 108 votes Pin Recipe Jump to recipe → This post contains some affiliate links, which means that we make a small commission off items you purchase at no additional cost to you.

With a super short ingredient list of pantry staples, this delicious garlic noodles recipe will become a staple in your menu. Garlic Noodles in the skillet topped with green onion See this recipe used in my weekly meal prep. Where Do I Find Oyster Sauce? Oyster sauce can be found in the International aisle of most major grocery stores (look near hoisin sauce). If you can’t find it there, it’s worth it to seek out an Asian market, where oyster sauce is likely to be much less expensive than in chain grocery stores. What Can I Use in Place of Oyster Sauce? I personally feel that the salty rich flavor of the oyster sauce makes this dish what it is and I wouldn’t suggest substituting it. That being said, several readers have said they’ve used hoisin sauce, which is much sweeter, and have enjoyed the results. Substitute the oyster sauce in this garlic noodles recipe at your own risk. What Else Can I Add to Garlic Noodles? This is a great base recipe to which you can add all sorts of other ingredients! Garlic noodles are great as a side dish, but you can add protein and vegetables to make it a meal. Try adding some Teriyaki Chicken or Honey Sriracha Tofu on top, or check out my Garlic Noodles with Beef and Broccoli for some inspiration.

When I don’t have green onions I have substitute them with red onions that are cooked until transparent, not caramelized. I made it for a pasta class last weekend. Everyone loved it, is always a success. Reply Alicia 04.27.24 at 1:10 am Absolutely love this recipe! I always add way more garlic and it’s a bit sweet for my liking so I more than half the sugar. Totally addicting and I can’t wait to make this again. Would also highly recommend making this with Trader Joe’s Thai wheat noodles. Those absorb the flavor soooo well. Reply Sarah C.

My son’s girlfriend said it was too sweet, so I made it different the next time. I had to add more sugar because it tasted better the 1st I made it. To each his own, the sweet makes it for me. I prefer this over garlic noodles at a restaurant any day!! I’d give you more stars if I could. Reply Don Campbell 06.25.24 at 9:51 pm Over all good.. but too sweet for me as well. Maybe add a lil sweet soy instead. Reply Comment navigation Older Comments Budget Bytes Icon Small Budget? No Problem!

Going completely gluten-free is something only recommended for those with celiac disease and doctor-diagnosed non-celiac gluten sensitivity. If you do not suffer from these health issues, it can actually damage your health to cut out gluten completely. Besides that, being truly gluten-free in your life can be much more difficult that a lot of marketing may suggest. According to the health blog of the Harvard Medical School, “Gluten also lurks in many other products, including frozen vegetables in sauces, soy sauce, some foods made with “natural flavorings,” vitamin and mineral supplements, some medications, and even toothpaste.” That said, cutting back on gluten is often associated with improvements to your overall health, usually because you end up eating fewer carbs and maintain a generally healthier diet as a consequence. Getting to Know Gluten Gluten is a protein that is most often found in wheat, barley, and rye. Over the last few decades, the sensitivity to this protein has increased, or at least our awareness of it has. Gluten sensitivity is a fairly common digestive problem and celiac disease is the more severe form of this. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease affecting close to 1 percent of the population, and, if dietary changes are not made, this disease can seriously damage your digestive system. Gluten sensitivity cannot be accurately diagnosed without blood tests, but there are some common signs indicating possible gluten sensitivity that you can look out for. If you notice them, or think you may have gluten sensitivity/celiac disease, speak to your doctor and get tested. The good news is that by switching to a gluten-free or gluten-reduced diet, you can live a healthier life. So knowing what to look for is a good place to start. Here are some of the symptoms: Bloating is common after eating gluten, which can make you feel miserable. While bloating can be a sign of many other issues, it is also common in cases of gluten sensitivity. Occasional diarrhea or constipation is normal with dietary changes, but when it is frequent, you may be looking at gluten sensitivity. The gluten causes inflammation throughout your digestive tract, damaging the gut lining and leading to poor nutrient absorption. The result is irregular and uncomfortable bowel movements. Abdominal pain is also common with gluten sensitivity and will be noticed directly after eating foods containing gluten. Headaches and migraines have been reported in gluten-sensitive individuals. While an occasional headache is tolerable, repeated headaches, especially after eating, could be a sign. Feeling tired could be from a lack of sleep or stress, but it is also linked to gluten sensitivity. Individuals that are sensitive to this protein are very prone to fatigue and tiredness, especially after eating. Skin problems can occur with gluten sensitivity. A condition known as herpetiformis is a skin manifestation common with celiac disease. Other skin conditions such as psoriasis, chronic urticaria (hives) and alopecia areata have been known to clear up once people changed to a gluten-free diet. Weight loss, when unexpected, is a common side effect of undiagnosed celiac disease. The weight loss is typically attributed to poor digestion and inefficient absorption of essential nutrients. Those with celiac disease are thought to also have a highly-sensitive nervous system, which means they have a lower threshold for the activation of the sensory neurons that cause pain. Individuals that are sensitive to gluten may therefore, experience frequent joint and muscle pains. It’s Easy to Go Gluten-Free Unlike some diets, going gluten-free does not mean you have to give up good food, as there are plenty of recipes to keep your palette happy. For example, a cold Soba Noodle Salad is perfect for a light lunch or side dish to accompany any dinner. It’s not your typical salad, as there is no lettuce, but it is packed full of nutrients and great for those with gluten sensitivity. Soba noodles are as common in Japanese cuisine as a carefully coiffed Zen garden and very popular in America now as well. They are made with buckwheat or brown rice and contain fewer carbohydrates than traditional noodles. The chewy noodles mixed with crunchy cabbage are a quick and convenient meal for anyone following a gluten-free diet. Gluten-Free Soba Noodle Salad Ingredients: 1 package of gluten-free soba noodles ½ small head of purple cabbage ¼ lb. washed and trimmed sugar snap peas Sunflower microgreens (to use as garnish) Dressing: ¼ cup toasted sesame oil 1/8 cup rice vinegar ½ small diced shallot ½ tablespoon black sesame ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Directions: Whisk the rice vinegar in a bowl with the toasted sesame oil; you should notice the oil and vinegar emulsify. Add in the diced shallots, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and then set aside once well mixed. Chop up the cabbage into thin slices and put in a large bowl. Slice the snap peas in thirds and add to the cabbage. Drizzle the dressing on top and mix well to make sure all the vegetables are coated. Cook the soba noodles according to the package, drain and rinse. Add them into the salad and mix thoroughly. The Bottom Line Even though gluten is widespread throughout our food, there are numerous options for gluten-free alternatives available. The popularity of gluten-free and gluten-reduced diets is growing so much, that these alternatives can be easily found and make modifying your diet very easy. Remember, that if you do cut back on gluten, try to increase other nutrients and essential minerals to keep your diet balanced. Ultimately, cutting out gluten can enhance your health and improve your well-being.
