This quick and tasty pasta dish is always a winner in our house and regularly on the menu.  Keep it simple for the fussy eaters or bulk it up with extra flavour and veggies.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 250g bowtie pasta (or pasta of choice)
  • 250g diced ham (or bacon)
  • 1 tablespoon of dried Italian Herbs
  • 1 cup of steamed broccoli
  • 250ml Philadelphia Cream for Cooking Lite
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Cook pasta as per packet directions in salted boiling water.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and fry ham until browned.  Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  3. Steam broccoli until just cooked.
  4. Separate eggs and place egg yolks, cream, and half the cheese in a jug, whisk until combined.
  5. Place cooked pasta, bacon, broccoli, and cream mixture in a pan on low heat and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Divide between 4 bowls and top with remaining cheese.

Notes:

  • Add as many extra vegetables as you like to the dish, cherry tomatoes, peas, or cauliflower would work well.
  • For extra flavour add some dried chilli flakes or top with fresh parsley or basil.
  • For a healthier option use chickpea or wholemeal pasta.
