Hakuna Matata Frittata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days

I don’t think there’s better words to describe this dish than those lyrics. (The Lion King song if you didn’t get the reference)

1. Definitely no passing craze. Frittatas are an all-time favorite meal. Been around for ages, and so customizable that you can move on to a new combination of fillings if you get tired of one.
2. No worries with making this at all. All it takes is whisking together some ingredients in eggs (or egg whites here), pouring that over a hot greased pan, and just letting it sit there and cook. Difficulty level: -1
3. Rest of your days? Have it any time of day! Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or even a mid evening meal.

Perfectioonnnnnn.

What makes this stovetop egg white and spaghetti squash frittata even better though?

• It uses only egg whites here for extra protein, less fat, and definitely no cholesterol!
• Its got veggies snuck in for good nutrition.
• It cooks a lot quicker since its made on the stove top instead of being baked in the oven.
