I haven't posted a recipe in a long time, but I tried this one last week and loved it. Now that I'm living alone, I'm focusing more on what I really want to eat. I'm finding that it doesn't involve much meat, and I actually feel a lot better when I don't eat meat. So, here's a yummy vegetarian recipe I adapted a little from O Magazine.
10 ounces spaghetti (I used Barilla Thin Spaghetti, and I recommend a "healthier" pasta option, whether whole grain, or whatever. Also, this is a bit less pasta than the original recipe called for. I thought it was way too much pasta and not enough other stuff when I made it the first time.)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 1/2 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 eggs (original recipe called for 4)
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups salsa, plus more for garnish
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions. In the last three minutes of cooking, add corn, black beans, and green onion.
In a separate skillet, scramble eggs with some salt and pepper. I used cooking spray instead of oil. (The original recipe says to fry the eggs and put them on top of the pasta, but I prefer them scrambled and mixed in with the pasta mixture.)
When pasta is finished, drain, reserving about 3/4 cup of pasta water. Return to big pan. Add pasta water, egg, salsa, and cheese. Add extra salsa and cheese to top of each serving. (Makes 4 servings)
