Quick Creamy Pasta

Prep:2minCook:15min

I make this often as a quick lunch when I’m at home. I usually have all the ingredients in the fridge or cabinet so it’s a great go-to! I always use gluten free noodles, the egg and cheese give it some protein so it’s a decently healthy meal!

2 tspbutter

Instructions

Step 1

Boil water and cook the pasta to your preferred texture.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, whisk the egg.

Step 3

When the pasta is ready, drain the water off. Instead of using a strainer, use the pot lid to keep the pasta in the pot while pouring most of the water out. This will keep the noodles a little more moist and add to the creamy texture.

Step 4

Return the pot to the stove and turn the burner to low. Add the whisked egg to the pasta and stir. The hot noodles should cook the egg, keeping the burner on low will help it cook without burning or drying it out.

Step 5

Once the egg is cooked, add the butter and cottage cheese until they are well incorporated. Add spices to taste and enjoy! For a slightly spicy take, sprinkle with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
