Easy Garlic Egg Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound pasta, long
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for pasta water)
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 5 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Bring water and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil. Add pasta and stir it around a little to keep from sticking. Return to a boil, then boil uncovered until al dente.
  2. Start checking the pasta for doneness at about 6 minutes. See package instructions for cooking time guidelines.
  3. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté for about 30, seconds, but do not brown it. Take the garlic off the heat and set aside.
  4. Whisk 5 eggs together in a bowl and set aside.
  5. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain it and return it to the pan.
  6. Immediately add the eggs and garlic to the hot, drained pasta and stir quickly until the eggs are cooked. If the eggs do not cook completely, turn on the burner to medium-low heat and continue stirring until the eggs are cooked.
  7. When the pasta is finished, add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

Notes

Use long pasta like spaghetti, linguine, or angel hair pasta.

Pasta is al dente when it is firm to the bite and loses it’s raw taste. It will have a slight resistance when bitten into. It is not soft or overdone.

If you stir the eggs and pasta together too slowly, the eggs may clump.

You may want to serve this pasta with a salad, bread and a steamed vegetable.

You may want to use a non-stick pan if the eggs stick to the pan too much.

Scrambled Eggs

Yield: 1 serving

Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (optional)
  • Cooking spray
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the milk or water if desired. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. Spray a sauté pan with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium heat until it is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  4. As the eggs begin to set on the bottom and sides, gently stir the mixture with a spatula. Lift cooked portions to allow the thin, uncooked portion to flow to underneath. Do not constantly stir. You can turn them over occasionally if you want.
  5. Cook just until eggs are thickened throughout, but are still shiny and moist.
  6. Remove from the pan and serve right away. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

Use 2 eggs per serving. You can adjust this recipe for the number of servings you would like.

You can substitute soy, rice, or almond milk for the regular milk. You can also use water or not add any liquid to the eggs.

Instead of cooking spray you can heat a small amount of margarine or butter in the pan before pouring the eggs in.

Egg-in-a-Frame

Yield: 1

Egg-in-a-Frame

Ingredients

  • 1 slice bread
  • 1 egg
  • Cooking spray (or butter)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut out a hole in the center of a piece of bread with a glass or cookie cutter.
  2. Spray the pan with cooking spray, then turn heat to medium.
  3. Fry the bread on one side until it starts to brown, then turn it over (You can also toast the bread circle in the pan if you want to).
  4. While the bread is toasting, crack the egg into a bowl and set it side.
  5. After you turn over the bread, pour the egg into the center hole.
  6. After a few minutes when the bottom of the egg looks solid and white, turn it over and cook on the other side until the egg white and yolk are cooked.
  7. Salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Notes

To cook quicker, you can cover the pan.

For more nutrition, use whole grain bread.

Instead of using cooking spray you can melt butter in the pan over low heat and spread it around. You can also butter both sides of the bread before cooking instead of using cooking spray (Using butter will add more fat and calories!).

You can make more than one serving in the pan an at time if there is room. You could also make several at once on a griddle.
