Ingredients
4 cup / 1 L | dry rotini pasta |
4 cup / 1 L | trimmed and chopped rapini |
2 tbsp / 30 ml | olive oil |
1 cup / 250 ml | thinly sliced red onion |
4 | cloves of garlic, minced |
1/4 tsp / 1 ml | hot pepper flakes |
2 cup / 500 g | Egg Creations Fat Free Original, well shaken |
1/2 cup / 125 ml | grated Parmesan cheese |
1/2 tsp / 2 ml | each salt and pepper |
Directions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Add the rapini during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain well.
Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in the pasta and rapini until heated through.
Whisk the eggs with the Parmesan, salt and pepper; pour into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or pasta is until evenly coated and eggs are slightly scrambled. Serve immediately.
Tips
Rapini is an Italian green with a pungent and slightly bitter flavour; it can be substituted with broccoli florets.
Increase hot pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp (2 mL) for a spicier entrée.
Use whole wheat pasta for added fibre.
