Рецепт Power Lunch: Cheesy Egg Spinach Pasta Recipe
By: Finance Foodie
As a follow up to my protein packed breakfast, my creative juices kicked into overdrive to create a healthy, delicious yet filling meal for lunch. Unlike the days of leisurely long lunches as a student, my lunch breaks are now limited to an hour, so I also needed something I could cook quickly the day before that is easily packed and reheated. So without further ado, I present the Cheesy Egg Spinach Pasta!
Cheesy Egg Spinach Pasta
Serving Size: 1
Calories: 660
Protein: 22g
Ingredients
- 2oz dry 365 Brand spinach spaghetti (200 cal, 7g protein)
- 1/2 cup Mia's Kitchen Nonni's Special Arrabiata pasta sauce (70 cal, 1g protein)
- 1oz Spanish Guyere cheese block, sliced (120 cal, 8g protein)
- 1 tbsp Bertolli EVOO for taste (120 cal)
- 1 egg (90 cal, 6g protein)
- 1/2 tbsp Bertolli Extra Light olive oil for sauteing (60 cal)
- (optional)
- Dash of salt and sugar, sprinkle of sesame seeds
Preparation
Boil 5 cups of water on stovetop. Add pasta and cook on HIGH heat for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. On a separate burner, saute egg with Bertolli Extra Light olive oil and a dash of salt and sugar. Drain pasta and place in bowl. Add pasta sauce, egg, cheese, EVOO, salt, sugar and sesame seeds. ENJOY with your a glass of red wine (optional - but usually necessary)! I recommend my latest favorite - Ice Cream Cellars Espresso Red Wine - inspired by the Espresso Gelato in Italy, it's like a dessert and drink in one!
Due to the healthy but high fat content from the cheese and olive oil, I also take a Calorease pill when I have this dish. Calorease is a revolutionary diet supplement that decreases daily caloric consumption by up to 500 calories a day. The unique, active fiber in Calorease, FBCx, is a soluble fiber derived from grain and binds up to 9 times its weight in dietary fiber. A convenient blister pouch provides 1 serving (2 tablets) so Calorease is easy to bring along for my power breakfast/lunch/dinner on the go!
Obviously taking this pill is not a license to overeat, nor is it a magic
bullet for quick weight loss (or else we would all look like Victoria Secret models!) But thankfully there is no program or special diet involved with taking Calorease - a reasonable, balanced and nutritious fat-containing diet along with regular exercise is recommended. A 90-tablet pack of Calorease retails for $29.99, but it's on promo now for $14.99 for a 90-tablet pack at
