Spicy Macaroni with Arugula and Egg

Macaroni and cheese with butter and tomato sauce- I loved this as a kid. Recreating some of those flavors and making it a healthy dish paid off in a tasty way! :)

Serves 4, Preparation time 30 minutes

2 cups dry macaroni

1/2 large red onion, diced

1 large tomato, diced

2 tsp jalapeno, minced

2 tsp garlic, finely minced

1/2 pepper (green or red), diced

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Salt

Pepper

2 cups arugula

1 cup basil, chopped

4 tbsp fresh mozarella, diced

Heat some water in a large pot until boiling. Salt and add the macaroni and cook until al dente ~ 7 minutes

Heat a tbsp of oil in a saute pan, add the onions, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for a few minutes until the onions are soft. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Cover and cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes are tender.

Add the peppers and stir. Turn off the heat. Season with salt.

Stir in the hot, drained macaroni.

In a seperate pan, add some oil and scramble the eggs in the pan. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes and turn off the heat.

To assemble. Put a ladle or 2 of the hot macaroni on a plate. Add a tbsp of the diced mozarella on top. Mix in some fresh basil and layer with the egg and arugula. Crack some pepper on top and serve.
