Pasta Frittata

This is a delicious way to use leftover pasta combined any sort of meats or vegetables.  I even love to make this even when I do not have leftover pasta, I cook the pasta and this time I added fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and Italian sausage.  The combination of pasta, cheese, vegetables and meat all cooked until it is enveloped in a golden crust.  Crusty and delicious on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, a real taste treat.  Serve with a side of marinara sauce, if desired.
