Your comment about sauce running through your veins is funny, I know without even tasting it your sauce rocks!!!

Thanks, CCCathy

P.S. My fiance makes a pretty mean sauce himself!

No recipe needed really Cathy. I did post a pizza recipe way back when I first joined the site. You can easily use that dough recipe - or any dough recipe if you have a favorite.

Now this is how my family has done it for generations -

spread your dough
sprinkle with olive oil and spread (fingers work well)
grab some roma tomatoes and smash them with your hands, saving the juices for future cooking (waste not!) and spread over the top of the dough
season with very little salt (because of the cheese), pepper, basil, marjoram
sprinkle with a light coating of fresh grated Pecorino Romano

bake
eat

you can use diced tomatoes from a can (drain well) and you can also blanch and remove the skins from your tomatoes

the amount of cheese is very little - its the tomatoes and dough you want

wanna fancy it up??? place anchovies on top

Mama LOVES anchovies!!!

As far as frittattas go - I am a "flipper" - which means I can flip an omelet or a frittatta by simply tossing it in the air and catching it in the pan. I can also do a good flip on a griddle. I want a restaurant sized griddle in my kitchen so bad!!

Now - a couple of my favorites - heat a bit of olive oil in a saute/omelet pan. Saute some fresh minced garlic for just about 30 seconds, add chopped fresh escarole and/or spinach. LOVE ESCAROLE! Wilt it down, season with salt and pepper; beat my eggs; pour over; cook one side and flip; cook the other side. If you can't flip - place in the oven to cook the top.

If you want to try to flip - don't flip over the stove - you miss and you have one heluva mess!

I also love various peppers and veggies and onions - just any mix I feel like having. Even leftover buttered broccoli, etc. can be "recycled" for these.

You can add crumbled sausage of choice (breakfast, Italian, polish, brats, etc) - anything goes.

Thanks.
I have some fresh spinach in the fridge. May try this for breakfast.
