Brunch Pasta
I was really looking forward to a cooked breakfast today and had bought the ingredients. We usually have it about 11.30 so it’s more of a brunch and it sets us up for the day. Then my darling husband remembered that he had invited his mother and sister to come to see us today and would I mind cooking. There was no way that my breakfast ingredients would stretch to 6 people (my sons have HUGE appetites despite being toddlers) so I came up with the idea of brunch pastaBrunch Pasta
Serves 6 – 8pts each
500 g uncooked pasta
8 Low Fat Pork Sausage
6 medium egg
8 Bacon Medallions
1 Red onion
2 Tins of tomatoes
400g Mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
200g low fat cheese
Salt and pepper
Spray a large frying pan or wok with oil from a mister and add the garlic onion and bacon (these should all be chopped) cook until the bacon is browning and the onions are starting to soften. At the same time put the sausages under the grill and brown. You can then put the pasta on to cook in boiling water. At this point you can switch on the oven to pre-heat at 150
degrees.
Add chopped mushrooms and herbs to the bacon mixture and cook with a splash of water. The mushrooms should start to release their liquid and at this point you can add the tomatoes.
Remove the cooked sausages from the grill and slice into bite size chunks. These s
hould then be added to the rest of the sauce.
Once the pasta is cooked drain well and put into a large oven proof dish. Add the sauce and stir in to ensure that it is evenly distributed. Then with a wooden spoon make six hollows in the pasta. Fill each hollow with a little cheese to form a nest then carefully crack an egg into each "nest" and place in the oven. Once the eggs are set but the yolk still runny the dish is ready to serve.
