Garden Vegetable Pasta Bowl With Eggs Recipe

Pasta, using fresh from the garden veggies, should be a staple meal in every household. You can use whatever veggies you have on hand and whatever pasta you prefer, including gluten free. You can also add other proteins to mix up the recipe.

We love to add eggs on top of the pasta, but you certainly don't have to. We use duck eggs instead of chicken eggs simply because the yolks are richer and the protein is higher. Plus, they are super creamy, rich, and delicious.

  1. In a sauté pan over a medium heat, pour about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and warm.
  2. Once warm, add the onion/leek and start to sauté until soft.
  3. When the onion/leek are soft, sprinkle with a little salt and add asparagus and peas to get nice and soft.
  4. About half way through the veggie sauté, add the garlic and let it get tender.
  5. When the veggies and garlic are tender, turn the heat to low and add the broth (this night I added the kale also.

  7. After about two minutes of simmering, add the crab and butter to finish.
  8. Once the butter melts it is done.
  9. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Pour the pasta in the sauté pan and stir.
