Easy Cooking, Egg n Pasta
Full title: Easy Cooking in detailed steps, boiled Egg & Pasta. (For one person).
Note: This recipe might look long and complicated, but I promise it’s an easy recipe. I just broke down the steps into many smaller ones, in order to make them as easy to understand as possible for people - even if they should be complete beginners at cooking.
For this recipe you will need: A smaller saucepan, 2-3 Eggs, a pinch of salt, a spoon, random smaller bowl, water, and half (0,5) of a cup of pasta. Also, an alarm. (Most people can set alarms on their phone, but alternative alarms work as well).
Total cooking time: 10-20 minutes, depending on how quick your stove is.
[Picture ID: Example of a cup to use for the pasta. If you can’t see the cup in the picture, use a cup roughly the same size as your fist. Picture ID Ended.]
Tip: The spoon you will need in this recipe is for some slow mixing and in order to take out the eggs from the boiling water. I recommend a wooden spoon for this, because wood doesn’t lead heat. However, if you don’t have a wooden spoon you can still use a normal one. Just be careful not to burn yourself on the water.

Recipe Steps:
. Read through the entire recipe before starting for real.
. Use the toilet before you start to cook, and then wash your hands thoroughly. [ That way you don’t need to run in the middle of cooking. ]
. Take out everything you need (see the list above), and place where you cook. (NOT on the stove though. It could cause scratches to the stove and/or start a fire if you’re unlucky.)
. Lightly rinse 2-3 eggs below running water.
. Place the 2-3 eggs into a fairly small saucepan.
. Fill the small saucepan with just enough water to cover the eggs.
. Add a pinch of salt in the saucepan with water.
. Place the saucepan with water on the stove. The saucepan should just barely cover the stove hob, or as close as possible. (The “circles” on top of your stove.)
. Turn on the heat for your chosen stove hob. Use the heat-stage before the hottest on your stove. (Usually 8 of 9, or similar.)
. Prepare half (0,5) of a small cup of pasta. If you’re hungry you can fill it almost all the way up.
. Prepare a timer for 6 minutes. (Do NOT turn it on yet). This alarm is to give you medium to hard-boiled eggs. If you prefer looser eggs, set the alarm a bit earlier, but I’m going to use 6 minutes for this recipe.
. Once the water start to bubble, to boil, turn on the alarm. - - - - If the water hasn’t started to boil after 10 minutes, check/make sure you didn’t accidentally turn on the oven or the wrong stove “circle”.
. Pour the Pasta into the boiling water and eggs.
. Slowly blend/mix the pasta and eggs once in a while.
. Lower the heat on the stove one (1) step. [ Example, now 7/9 instead of 8/9. ]
. Read the pasta package or have someone tell you how long the pasta needs to boil. This will usually be around 6-12 minutes, but it depends on the kind of pasta you’re using. If you don’t know how long the pasta needs to boil, assume it needs 8 minutes.
. When the alarm sounds, turn it off and immediately set a new alarm for the remaining time of the pasta. Assuming you set the alarm to 6 minutes for the eggs, the pasta should now have roughly 1-4 minutes left depending on what kind of pasta you used.
. Immediately after you set the new alarm, use the spoon to CAREFULLY! take out the eggs from the boiling water, and place the eggs in a small bowl with cold water.
. When the pasta alarm sounds, turn off the alarm. . Turn off the stove.
. Peel off the egg shell(s). - They should have cooled down enough to do so now, but if not, change their water to give them cold water again for a few seconds.
. Once the eggs are peeled, carefully drain/pour out the water from the pasta into the sink.
. Pour the pasta onto your dinner plate/into your dinner bowl. . Place the peeled eggs on top of the pasta. Time to eat, you’re done.
. Optional: If you want to eat this as a simple soup instead, pour a cup of milk into your bowl and add some spices of your own choice.
And/or you can add a vegetable/fruit to eat alongside if you want to, but this is a basic recipe you can cook to at least get both needed calories and protein into your body.
