Wholewheat spaghetti (f)
Saffron (1/2 tsp) - expensive! (f)
3 eggs (f)
1/2 stock cube (f)
Side veg:
Mushrooms (f)
leeks (sf)
(optional)
15 g or 30g of Grana padano cheese (3.5 or 7 syns)
Put pasta on to boil.
In a small pan, add half a cup of water and the saffron and stock cube. gently boil.
when pasta is done, add a cup of the starchy pasta water to the sauce. * remove from heat / turn off*. Crack eggs and whisk into the yellow sauce. Drain the pasta and place back in the saucepan, and then pour in the sauce and mix thouroughly.
Although the eggs are raw, they will cook and thicken in the heat of the pasta. (if you're worried, warm a little on the stove - whisking hard).
Serve with an extra portion of veg (e.g. mushrooms and onions) and optionally mix in 15g or 30g strong cheese - either as syns or as a healthy extra A.
Basic sauce and pasta are free : made enough for 3 :)
