Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the 2 eggs. Add 1/4 tsp of black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the beaten eggs and black pepper mixture. Stir until the pasta is well coated.
Add 1/3 cup of peas and 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese to the pasta mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil. Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta mixture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the bake is heated through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Peas and Noodle Bake!
Tips:
- Cook the whole-wheat pasta until it is just al dente, following the package instructions, to ensure it doesn’t become too soft during baking.
- Thaw frozen peas by placing them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes before draining and adding them to the dish.
- To avoid curdling, temper the eggs by slowly adding a small amount of the hot pasta water into the beaten eggs while constantly whisking.
- For an extra crispy topping, consider adding some breadcrumbs mixed with additional parmesan cheese before baking.
- Let the bake rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set properly before serving.
