Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This is a great way to use up pasta leftovers, although I did try it on my daughters Ellie and Lydia once and they asked my why I was serving last night's dinner in an omelette, so make sure you don't serve both to the same people! You can tart it up a bit by adding, say, shredded wild garlic or herbs.

2-3 eggs per person
Olive oil for frying
Pasta leftovers such as pasta in tomato sauce, carbonara, etc
A couple of tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan

Beat your eggs and chop up the pasta, then mix with the eggs. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and stir in the pasta mixture. Continue stirring over a medium heat until the mixture starts to set. Leave over the heat for a minute or so, then invert the pan on to a plate and slide the frittata back into the pan so you can brown the uncooked side. Cook on a medium heat for a minute, then slide on to a serving plate. To serve, cut into slices and accompany with a fresh green salad.
