Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and dissolve the stock pot (if using). Add the spaghetti and cook for 7 minutes until just al dente. Add the broccoli to the pan for the last minute of cooking time – it should still be crunchy. Drain the pasta and broccoli, drizzle with olive oil and season.
- Meanwhile, heat the 1 tbsp oil in the pan and fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the ham and fry briefly, then transfer the mixture to a large bowl and wipe out the pan using kitchen paper.
- Add the cooked broccoli and pasta to the bowl, then stir in the beaten eggs, milk, and most of the feta and chopped dill.
- Turn the grill to high and heat a drizzle of oil in the clean frying pan. Pour in the pasta mixture and scatter the rest of the feta over the top. Cook the frittata over a low-medium heat for 6-8 minutes. When the eggs have set around the edges put the pan under the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve sprinkled with the rest of the dill and ground black pepper.

This gives a slightly runny frittata, like a creamy carbonara. If you’d prefer it to be completely set, grill at a lower heat for an extra 5-8 minutes.
Leave out the ham and add 100g defrosted frozen peas with the broccoli in step 3.
