Greek noodles with feta and green pepper

Feta cheese, tomato and eggs make a delicious combination. In Greece, “strapatsada” or “kayanas” is prepared in a frying pan by mixing and stirring these three ingredients. However, our respective pasta version turned out to be an equally great success.

Laziness Factor: 2

[where 0 is taking the elevator and 4 is building a skyscraper]

Ingredients for 4 servings:

– 500g Greek noodles (hylopites)

– 200-300g feta cheese

– 500g ready-made tomato sauce

– 2 green peppers, chopped

– 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

 

1.

Start boiling the noodles in salted water according to the boiling instructions.

 

2.

Chop the peppers and put them in a pan with olive oil along with the garlic.

 

3.

After the peppers have softened, add the content of your pre-made sauce (that is really lazy, I know, but don’t feel guilty, it’s part of a creative process…).

 

4.

2 minutes before you drain the noodles, break an egg in the tomato sauce and stir quickly.

 

5.

The egg will make the sauce turn rather pinky. Add pepper and some salt.

 

6.

After draining the noodles, add them to the sauce and stir.

 

7.

Add more pepper if you feel like it.

 

8.

In the end, break the feta in the pan with a fork or your own hands (that is, if your guests know you enough to oversee the lack of savoir vivre…).

 

9.

Enjoy!…

Although it's hard to tell which country pasta originates from (whether it's Italy or China), the history of pasta is long and interesting.

Truth be told, pasta has become popular as an ingredient of the Italian cuisine and it forms part of the Mediterranean diet. Pasta dishes can be ordered and devoured in various Italian restaurants all around the world.

The secret of the pasta may lie in its simplicity. It is usually made of white flour or wheat flour, but today we also have the options of whole wheat pasta and, more recently, gluten-free pasta.

Then again, the list of ingredients that can be used in a pasta recipe is endless; The sauce can be anything for a simple tomato sauce to bechamel sauce, white sauce with cream or other dressings. Garlics and onions are great friends of pasta, vegetables and other greens like parsley, dill, spinach, zucchini, peppers, broccoli and mint can be found in various recipes, while cheese is an absolute ticket to success, either grated, sliced or baked on top.

No matter how elaborate a pasta recipe is, the result can be mouth-watering and is certain to please everyone's palate.
