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
