Method
Cook your pasta of choice for 6 mins, and drain.
Pat dry with a clean tea towel to remove any excess moisture.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a frying pan. Add diced pepper and artichokes and cook for 5 mins.
Add the butter to the pan and stir.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in the pasta and beaten eggs, mixing well. Season to taste.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and put over moderate heat.
Pour in the frittata mixture. Lower the heat after a minute and cook for another 8 minutes.
The frittata is ready to go under the grill when there is no liquid egg running out when you tip the pan. It should be a little soft but still set in the centre.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top and place the pan under preheated grill and cook until golden.
Serve with salad or mini roast potatoes
