not have any bread with which to make a 'normal' toasty breakfast.
Wholewheat Penne pasta
1 leek (finely sliced)
1 large clove garlic (grated/mashed/crushed etc.)
1 rasher smoked dry-cure bacon (chopped into small dice)
1 egg (organic)
1 generous slice cornish blue cheese
E-V Olive Oil
Butter
First fill the kettle, and boil it. Then fill a pot with the boiling
water, some salt, and a couple of handfuls of Penne.
Very very gently fry the leek in a little oil, in a large pot. If it
burns, you'll be really pissed off, so go slow, and turn the heat down
and cover the pan when it's about halfway there.
Now heat some more olive oil (only a little) in a frying pan. Add the
garlic, frying gently -- the last thing you want in this recipe is a
burnt garlic flavour. Now add the bacon and allow it to colour a
little. Add bacon and garlic to the leek, and add a good knob of
butter and the cheese to that. Check the pasta.
When the pasta is suitably al dente, drain, rinse and add to the
sauce. Now add that egg and with the heat turned way down or off, mix
well so the egg forms a sort of sauce.
Devour, then cycle to work. (This is a very good cold weather breakfast!)
