Hi Friends!

Let’s talk breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. Allow me to introduce you to the breakfast Squish and I have been enjoying this week. I’d describe it as the love child that would result if mac and cheese and a frittata had a baby.

Are you thinking “pasta for breakfast?!” Sounds crazy, right? I assure you it’s not. This pasta bake is packed with protein, veggies and whole grains – a winning breakfast in my book, perfect for fueling your busy day. Squish is a noodle lover like his mama and I love pairing them with veggies. Lately he’s started to reject some of the veggies I give him, but I’ve noticed if they’re paired with things he loves like meat and noodles in a casserole type dish, he’s much more likely to eat them. I’m also making it my mission to try to get him loves of veggies throughout the day, and that includes breakfast!

With the holidays coming up, it’s also worth noting that it can be mostly assembled the night before if you want to bake it to feed your overnight guests! Or you can bake it on the weekend and simply slice and reheat throughout the week for a quick breakfast option like we’ve been doing this week.

You can easily customize this pasta bake by using your favorite pasta, your favorite veggies and whatever kind of sausage you like (or even some leftover chicken or pork). I topped mine with avocado and salsa…because I love my eggs with salsa.

So here’s how you make it:

  • Author: Lindsay L
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups dry pasta (i used elbows)
  • 2 – 3 cups mixed veggies (i used onions, bell peppers and peas)
  • 3 chicken sausages, chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
  3. While pasta is cooking, saute veggies, sausage and spices over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  4. Add cooked pasta and cheese to veggie mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Spoon into greased 9×13 pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  7. Pour over pasta mixture and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

– Feel free to use your favorite veggies and spices. [br]-Top with extra cheese before baking if desired. [br]- I covered mine with foil halfway through to keep noodles from hardening. [br]- There may be a little excess liquid on top when done baking. Simply blot off with a paper towel before serving. [br]- To prepare ahead of time, cook pasta and veggies and assemble in pan. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, add egg mixture and bake.

    I love that you can do most of the work the night before – I’m pretty worthless first thing in the morning! Going to share with my mom – she’s always looking for ideas when the whole family is around over the holidays!

    Love this idea! Nothing better than a breakfast that’s already made (and can turn into lunch or dinner 🙂 )

    I love having pasta for breakfast, even though my husband teases me about it. Now that you made it “breakfasty” it’s official morning food. Yum!

    We have something pretty similar to this in Trinidad (without the veggies or meat) called macaroni pie and we have it for lunch or dinner. Love the idea of stepping it up a notch, but I’m not sure I could make the move to eating it for breakfast haha
