Thyme Pasta Frittata

I made this last night and it was so yummy. Plus, the best thing was that Olive and Eden made it with me. Thanks Giada De Laurentiis.

Ingredients
* 6 eggs
* 3 tablespoons whipping cream
* 1 cup grated Parmesan
* 3 cups cooked and cooled penne pasta
* 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
* 1 lemon, zested
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in the cheese, pasta, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove the pan from the heat. Using a spatula, slide the frittata onto a dinner plate. Carefully invert the frittata back into the skillet and continue to cook until firm, 5 to 6 minutes

Garnish with the remaining thyme. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
