    Serves 8

    • 400g (14 oz) spaghetti or tagliatelle cooked
    • leftover roasted chicken
    • 8 to 10 eggs (depending on size)
    • Salt, pepper
    • neutral oil
    1. In a non-stick pot, add a small amount of oil (really not much needed if your pot is non-stick) and heat.

    2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a large bowl with the cooked pasta and shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper.

    3. When the oil is hot, pour in the entire mixture. Leave on high heat for a few minutes then reduce to medium heat (5 on induction), cover and let cook gently for 25 minutes. When the egg is set, turn off the heat, gently loosen the edges with a knife if needed and unmold onto a serving platter.

    Enjoy warm or cold.
