Mom’s Peas and Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked whole-wheat pasta shells
• 1/3 cup frozen peas
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Fill a saucepan with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas, and cook for 1 more minute; drain well in a colander set in the sink. Return the pasta and peas to the saucepan.

Mix in the eggs, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and black pepper; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the eggs are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve sprinkled with 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese.
