And just think of the stress you will eliminate by not having to search out or navigate the traffic to a far away place. With beautiful end of summer weather still hanging around you can still capture a one day staycation here or there, even though summer is almost gone\u2026.
\nWhat better addition to a staycation at home than a frittata with style\u2026.well not your ordinary frittata anyway!
\nTry this Tortine con Verdure for a late Sunday brunch or lunch or even a light dinner
\nDon\u2019t make a plain old\u00a0 frittata try this Torte instead..almost an Italian style quiche made in the\u00a0 same way a frittata is made..this is truly a frittata with style

\nTortine con Verdure (Torte with Vegetables)<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThis serves 4<\/strong>
\n*6eggs<\/strong>

\n*1 tablespoon grated\u00a0 parmigiana reggiano<\/strong>\u00a0 cheese
\n*1 1\/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>
\n*salt and pepper to taste<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWash and clean vegetables. Eliminate the seeds and filament of pepper, cut pepper into cubes. Cut off stem of zucchini, cut into cubes. Gently wash arugula leaves. Cut off tough ends of asparagus, and slice remaining part into round slices. Boil a pot of water and cook in slated water for 10 minutes. Drain, then place on towel paper to eliminate all excess water. Then place zucchini cubes into boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and let dry on paper towels to remove all excess water.Place 1 tsp\u00a0 olive oil I and clove of garlic n saucepan and saute\u00a0 cut pepper for 3 minutes. Remove the garlic. remove from heat.
\nBreak eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt ,freshly grated black pepper and grated cheese,and add in drained vegetables.\u00a0 Place remaining olive oil in non-stick pan and heat, place in the egg mixture. Cover pan and cook on one side for 10 minutes, Turn over and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve in cut wedges and sprinkle each wedge with some freshly chopped parsley.
