Pesto Egg Macaroni With Mushroom & Broccoli

Hello And welcome again to my food blog - myorganicfoodlife.

Today's recipe is based out of my most favourite ingredient basil. There is something in Basil that calms my nerves and keeps me at peace. There is no denying my love for this. I have always been vocal about my love for this herb and have loved this from the start and so most of my recipes involve using basil. We all know the basil is also known as Tulsi and is considered as a holy herb. It's usually found it almost all the homes in India.
You can even Grow your own basil. Its very easy and also helps in making your surroundings green and you end up eating organic food grown in your very own balcony. Take 2-3  clean basil stem with few leaves and keep it in a  small glass of water in the sun. After 4-5 days you will notice little roots on them. Add these into the pot and keep watering them after every 2-3 days depending on the sunlight. You can enjoy your Basil after 2-3 weeks of planting them.
I use my own Basil, organically grown in my Garden. And once the leaves are long & thick enough , I make a thick pesto paste using these and other few Ingredients. For the recipe of Pesto, Please refer to the previous recipe of Pesto cream spring onion pasta.

Cooking Time : 5 minutes
Preparation Time : 20 minutes
Serves : 2

Ingredients :
2 tbsp Home made Pesto Sauce (Recipe on the previous post of pesto cream Spring onion Pasta )
1 cup of chopped Mushroom
1 cup of chopped Brocooli
2 eggs at room temperature
250 grams Uncooked macaroni
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika powder ( Also known as Kashmiri Mirch )
1 tbsp Crushed fresh oregano ( I have grown oregano in my kitchen garden and I use it sun dried )

Method :
Whip up the eggs in a bowl and add salt & Paprika to it. Make scrambled eggs. Heat the sauce pan to medium and add olive oil to it. Pour the egg mix and slowly stir it till its dried and soft and is not sticking onto the pan. Keep it aside.
Again, Heat the pan on medium heat and add olive oil to it. Add mushrooms, broccoli, black pepper and a little bit of salt to it. Stir it and cover the lid. Keep stirring it after every 10 seconds and keep it aside.
Add Uncooked Macaroni in a pan and fill it with 4 glasses of water. Drizzle olive oil and salt in it. Macaroni won't stick onto each other if we add olive oil while cooking. Keep stirring it and after 10 minutes the macaroni would be par boiled. Drain the water out of macaroni and keep it aside .

In the Pan Add boiled macaroni, 2 tbsp of pesto sauce, stir fry Mushroom broccoli and scrambled egg. Stir it for 1 minute till you see a bit of olive oil on your pan. Take off the stove and serve it hot with a toast of garlic bread. This can also be used as a warm Salad dish along with Tomato basil soup. Enjoy it hot :)

Keep tuned in for the next recipe of Tomato basil soup. Until then,
Keep cooking, Keep loving :)
