a noodle-like frittata variant, also great for using up leftovers

Preheat the oven to 180°C and cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, according to the package instructions. In the meantime, finely dice the onion, peel the garlic, and whisk the eggs with the cheese. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan and briefly fry the onions. Press in the garlic and continue frying until the onions are translucent. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan along with the drained corn and fry briefly. Season everything with (smoked) salt and pepper. Then pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta in the pan and place the pasta on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Let the pasta set in the oven until firm, about 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle some chives over the pasta and serve. Tip: If you like, you can also fry diced ham or bacon and add it to the pasta. Italian herbs would certainly work well too.
