Maltese pasta omelette called froga tat-tarja is made with vermicelli, cheese a couple eggs and some parsley. It is a perfect way to use left over pasta and certainly any long pasta noodle would work well.  The dish is typically made with cheese and parsley, but other ingredients like spinach, scallions and even prosciutto can be used.  We enjoyed this alongside beef olives for our Maltese meal however this dish would make a great breakfast or light lunch as well.  You can get creative with what you add to it, like their Italian neighbors they are masters at using left overs to make delicious things. This is one of those recipes.
