This is another easy,quick and super healthy pasta dish-my kids eat a whole bowl of it and keep asking for it! The secret ingredients are pesto and a beaten egg, which brings the pasta and broccoli together...great comfort food!
Ingredients:
Whole wheat penne pasta
broccoli florets cut short, add tender stems
1 whole egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp Pesto (homemade or store bought)
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Bring a pot of water to boil, throw in pasta add salt. Once the pasta is halfway cooked about 4 minutes add the chopped broccoli and let boil until pasta is ready. Meanwhile in a small bowl, crack the egg, add milk, pesto, flaxseeds and cheese until well mixed. Once the pasta is ready drain the water out as usual and put pasta/broccoli back in pot and add the egg mixture. Put your pot back on burner (but keep burner off or else you will scortch the pasta) and keep mixing the pasta until the egg mixture dries into the pasta, takes 1 minute about.
Variations: add crisped bacon (fat removed, I cut out fat with my scissors)
add achovy paste-my husbands favorite
tuna or salmon-my favorite!
