These days I am cooking for one, so I'm going for easy and fast (yet healthy and yummy). Sometimes a tough combo because I tend to be very lazy in the cooking department when M isn't around.
I found this little gem of a soup, so I thought I'd share. Highly recommend it. The ingredients are ones I always have on hand (as do most cooks regardless of your skill level) and it's super fast and yummy! I added chicken that I boiled with the pasta for a protein element (although the egg is protein as well):
Spinach & Egg-drop Pasta Soup
1/2 pound tubetti, ditali or other small pasta
2-3 quarts chicken stock
4-6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 ounces baby spinach (basically 3-4 large handfuls)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil and lemon wedges, for drizzling
Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well.
In a saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer with the garlic; simmer for 3 minutes. Add the pasta and spinach and cook over moderate heat until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the eggs, breaking them into long strands. Gently simmer the soup until the eggs are just firm, about 1 minute. Stir in the 1/2 cup of cheese. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil and serve, passing lemon wedges and more cheese on the side.
*I skipped the lemon wedges part, but I do think it'd be a great addition
