You may be wondering what is the difference between omelet and omelette.
I was confused myself as I would see it spelled both ways.
Certainly, omelet and omelette are referring to the same dish.
The difference between omelet and omelette is really more about who is making or referring to it.
That is right. In America we call it an ‘Omelet’ while in Europe (specifically England and France) it is an omelette.
This recipe is for anyone asking is eating whole wheat pasta is good for you.
I am someone who likes to try different kind of pasta. Recently I have been enjoying the chickpea pasta, black bean pastas, and other vegan inspired kinds of pastas.
This recipe calls for whole wheat pasta (spaghetti).
Whole wheat pasta is not only friendly to the Mediterranean diet (moderation), it is also a good source of fiber and
will of course, keep your feeling full longer.
Feel free to use another kind of pasta however, please keep in mind that you may need to adjust cooking times or other ingredients along the way.
Tips for making omelettes.
I just mentioned that you can use any kind of pasta for this recipe instead of the whole wheat pasta (spaghetti). However, if you do plan on using another kind of pasta keep in mind that you may need to adjust cooking times or other ingredients along the way.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- You can add meat to this recipe if you desire to. This is a great way to use up leftover meat that may have been served with the pasta.
- Also, adding chopped spinach is a great way to add some vegetables to this dish. Other vegetables that may work include chopped tomatoes, broccoli or peppers.
- To bake this you will need an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. While this recipe could be made in a skillet on the stove, I feel that the eggs will bake more evenly with the other ingredients in the oven.
Personalizing this omelette is easy and can make it even better.
Feel free to add additional seasonings as desired.
Another option is to add a bit of hot sauce or to serve this omelet with some salsa on the side.
Here are some more ways to personalize your omelette.
Topping with additional cheese, even a different kind of cheese, just after the omelette comes out of the oven can make it like a pizza. However, if you pasta sauce to use up you may want to try that instead.
Leftover Spaghetti Omelette can also be stored for later enjoyment.
Simpy store your leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a few days. You can heat it up on a low setting in your microwave before serving.
