Directions
Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place tomato sauce in small saucepan and warm over low heat.
Beat eggs, milk and Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add pasta, chicken, peas and pepper and toss until blended.
Pour 1 teaspoon of the oil into a 6-inch, non-stick skillet and place over medium heat. Toss pasta mixture again and measure out one-fourth of the mixture (about 1 cup) into the skillet. Flatten into an even layer. Cook about 1 minute, then slide spatula around to be sure pancake doesn't stick. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes until the underside is brown, shaking the pan once or twice to prevent sticking. Carefully flip pancake and cook about 3 more minutes.
Slide pancake onto a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while preparing the remaining pancakes.
When all four pancakes are done, top with tomato sauce and serve.
