INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat pasta (cooked, ~140g)
½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (~56g)
2 large eggs (~100g total)
1 cup fresh spinach (~30g)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
¼ cup skim milk
Salt and pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and add the skim milk to create a light, creamy base.
Stir in the reduced-fat cheddar cheese into the warm milk mixture until it melts to form a smooth cheese sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring gently until evenly coated.
In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the fresh spinach until just wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into a heated non-stick pan and gently scramble until just set.
Combine the scrambled eggs and wilted spinach into the cheesy pasta, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper as needed, and serve immediately.
