About Being Lame

I like how in my last post, dated sometime roughly a gabillion years ago, I begged forgiveness for my laziness, and then proceeded to lie to you about how I was going to post something in the next couple of days. Granted, I didn't realize I was lying at the time. I had the best of intentions, but, alas, I was lame and didn't follow through. I told you that I'm lazy, right?

Anyhoo, to make up for all the lameness, I am actually going to leave you with a tasty recipe today. It's one of my absolute favorites for dinner. It happens to be adapted from a recipe that I found online a long time ago and adapted to my own tastes. Feel free to adapt this one to please your own taste buds as you wish. It's quick, it's easy, and it's full of eggy proteiny goodness. Just serve it with a luscious salad and there you go - dinner.

Eggy Noodly Stuff

Ingredients:

1 pound noodles (I like to use elbows)
5 Large eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 tablespoons basil (Parsley works too)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dash of salt
2-4 tablespoons olive oil (I usually just eyeball it)
Half a small onion, chopped

• Bring a large pot of water to boil and follow the directions on package for cooking noodles.
• While the noodles are cooking, combine the eggs, cheese, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl with a whisk.
• Heat oil in large frying pan or skillet with onions. Cook until tender and ever so slightly browned.
• Drain pasta and add to pan. Toss to coat with oil.
• Add the egg mixture to the pan. Using a wooden spoon (or something similar) mix together for about a minute while the mixture becomes thick and creamy. As soon as the eggs start to scramble, remove from heat and serve immediately.
• Eat up! Serves about 2-4, depending on whether or not you're using it as a main dish.
