Brekkie Pasta

I have yet to meet a meal that ticks all the student boxes like this:
cheap, tick
easy to make, tick
quick, tick
filling and satisfying, tick
tasty, tick

My Brekkie Pasta – so called because it’s pasta with scrambled egg and bacon, a popular breakfast combination.  This time they’re invading your pasta bowl!

Ingredients
cup of pasta, any shape
2 tablespoons smoked bacon lardons
2 eggs

  1. Boil the pasta for the minimum amount of time stated on the packet.
  2. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a cup and beat together.
  3. When the pasta is ready, drain it and set aside.
  4. Put the pan back on the hob and add the bacon pieces, always moving them.
  5. When the bacon looks cooked but not browned, add the eggs and keep them moving.
  6. As the eggs are nearly cooked, return the pasta.  Mix well, and ensure the eggs are cooked.
  7. Serve on its own, or with a green side salad.

The beautiful thing is you can really taste the eggs and the bacon, even though I didn’t salt at any stage.  The taste really comes through, and it really couldn’t be simpler : pasta, bacon, eggs, then pasta again.  Try it – you’ll like it, and you’ll want to make it all through the next Uni term.
