Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 200 g pasta (e.g. spirelli)
  • 1 can tomato sauce, optionally seasoned with oregano or basil
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ can corn or other vegetables
  • 1 small ham, lean, diced
  • ½ bag of cheese, reduced fat, grated
  • some basil or other herbs, dried
  • some garlic powder
  • ½ jar mushrooms, if desired
  • some olive oil
  • ½ onion(s), if desired
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • possibly water (salt water)

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Pour the olive oil into a large pan and heat it slightly. Add the diced ham. If you have an onion on hand, dice it into small pieces and fry it together with the diced ham. Add cold, cooked pasta from the day before (or cook it fresh if you don’t have any left) to the pan and fry it briefly. Turn the heat down to low, break the eggs and pour them over the pasta, mixing well and quickly. Season with a little garlic and the other spices. Now add the vegetables, mushrooms, tomato sauce (if you want more sauce, double the tomato sauce and sour cream), and sour cream. Mix everything well and simmer for a short time on low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning, as there is little liquid. Season again if necessary. Sprinkle the cheese on top and stir it in gently until it melts. If the cheese doesn’t melt immediately, leave it on the stove for a short while and toss the contents of the pan a little. Serve immediately! You can eat it on its own or with a green salad.
