Peperonata and spaghettini frittata with harissa cream

"This recipe originally came about when I had a little leftover spaghetti in a peperonata sauce and was wondering how to stretch it to make another meal. This is the rather fabulous result – it’s become so popular at home, that I now cook the peperonata and spaghettini especially to make this frittata! You can break this up into stages if you like: the peperonata and spaghettini can be cooked and combined a day ahead, then all you need do is reheat them gently before making the frittata." – Belinda Jeffery
