Frittata with Potatoes and Pesto Sauce

Frittata (or omelet) with potatoes is a dish with a real rustic flavor.

It serves as the second or main course for lunch or dinner. It may also be a great breakfast – however, not in Italy.

After all, the classic Italian breakfast is sweet. In Italy, people do not have something other than coffee and cookies or cornetto for breakfast.

Those living in a cooler climate, of course, need a more substantial breakfast, which makes frittata an ideal variant.
