This is recipe given to me by a girlfriend which she got off a cooking show (she can't remember which one) but she o'kay it is not gourmet but it does taste pretty good and it is quick. Served with a salad and a healthy meal. No brand of 2 minute noodles was specified but could only get ZAAR to accept Maggi. Since found out it was James Reeson one of my favourite chefs and obviously an episode I missed.
Ingredients:
1 (85 g) maggi 2-minute noodles (packet, do not use flavour sachet)
50 g ham
2 basil leaves
2 mixed mushrooms
2 spring onions
1 small garlic clove
50 ml thickened cream (double cream)
1 egg
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese (grated or shaved to taste)
olive oil
Directions:
1. Cook the noodles as per the pack instructions (don't use flavouring sachet if enclosed).
2. Finely chop the spring onion, garlic, ham and mushrooms.
3. Splash olive oil into a hot frying pan and fry the chopped ingredients all together for 1 minute and then add the cream and heat thoroughly before adding the noodles into the sauce with a splash of the water the noodles were cooked inches.
4. Crack in the egg and stir through and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Finish with shredded basil and sprinkle with parmesan and serve.
