Ingredients
- Pasta Base
12 ounces cavatappi pasta
- Protein Add-ins
1 pound mild Italian sausage, casings removed
6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped into half-inch pieces
- Aromatics and Herbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Egg Mixture
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Cheese and Seasoning
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Alternative Ingredients
Replace cavatappi with fusilli or penne if unavailable.
Substitute Italian sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
Use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon as an alternative to regular bacon.
Swap Parmesan cheese with pecorino or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
Directions
- Begin by boiling the cavatappi pasta in salted water until al dente, approximately 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
- In a large nonstick pan over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage and bacon until browned and crispy, about 7 minutes.
- Add garlic and green onions to the pan, sautéing until fragrant, roughly 2 minutes.
- Lower the heat and pour the beaten eggs over the cooked meats. Stir gently until the eggs are softly set. Fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring it is evenly coated with the egg mixture.
- Stir in chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
