I contemplated a few dishes during my traffic-filled journey to the market this afternoon. No Recipes’ Parsley Pasta was on my mind. Eating Well’s Asparagus-Mushroom Mini Lasagnas was printed and tucked in my purse. And as I walked through the store, somewhere between the produce department and the noodle aisle, I decided to make a hybrid of the two.
I picked up a brown paper bag filled with semolina bucatini {the thickest noodle I had ever seen}, veggies, and parmesan. And then I rushed through the checkout line, excited to put all of these ingredients together, and even more excited to put an egg on it.
I haven’t yet mastered how to fully cook the whites of an egg and still keep the yolk extra sunny. But egg aesthetics aside, I thought it turned out beautifully. A veggie-filled, protein-topped, totally tasty dinner.

What market did you pick them up at? The brown paper bag through me off and I know via your blog you’re usually a Whole Foods shopper…And I’m in Austin as well and am always looking for fun little markets with unique fresh food!
I bought the noodles at Central Market. They have a couple brands that look a little more homemade 🙂
This looks so good! How did you like the bucatini noodles? They are so thick that I find them easier to eat with chopsticks.
I loved them, but they were definitely super difficult to eat with a fork. I would have never thought to use chopsticks – thanks!
