Author Notes: A healthy, hearty meal that you can make in 15 minutes after a long day at work. This recipe works well with any kind of Penne pasta (whole wheat, gluten-free, etc). The chard is the star of the dish, its vibrancy and flavor complimented by sweet yellow tomatoes and fresh parmesan cheese. —Laura Houston
Serves: 2 people
Ingredients
-
2
cups Penne Pasta
-
2
cups Swiss Chard
-
1
Yellow Tomato
-
2
Eggs
-
2
tablespoons Olive Oil
-
Parmesan Cheese
Directions
- Begin cooking pasta according to the instructions on the package. While pasta is cooking, chop the Swiss chard and tomato into 1 in pieces, but keep them separate.
- When the pasta has about 3 minutes left, throw the Swiss chard in the pot (yep, just chuck it in there) and put the lid on. You want to cook the Swiss chard down a little, and cooking it with the pasta is easy and doesn’t dirty another dish. Drain both in a collander when the 3 minutes is up.
- Put the pot back on the burner, and turn to low-medium heat. Add olive oil and tomatoes, and cook for 2 minutes. Add pasta and Swiss chard mixture, and stir. Crack 2 eggs over the whole mixture, and continue to stir until cooked, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese and serve. Enjoy.
