Two days a week, I work an evening shift at the library. This means I work from 1:oo – 9:oo pm, with an hour off for supper. Thankfully I live close enough to my work that I’m able to zip home and throw together some proper food for dinner.
This is fast becoming one of my go-to dishes for just such a time. It’s fast, easy and has lots of flavour.
1 handful of egg noodles (or other bite-sized pasta)
1 handful of fresh spinach
1/3 cup pasta sauce
2 eggs
salt & pepper
Boil the noodles in a small pot of water.
One minute before they are finished cooking, stir in the spinach.
Drain the spinach and the pasta, then return to the pot and stir through the tomato sauce.
Put everything in a bowl.
Make a well and crack in two eggs.
Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave for a minute or two, until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Grind on some salt and pepper and devour.
Note: If I weren’t in a rush, and it wasn’t the middle of summer, I might use the oven instead of the microwave to cook the eggs. Then again, that seems like a lot of energy and heat for a single-person dish.
