Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 4 stalks of asparagus
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms I used white button
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 3" section of butternut squash, peeled, Blade C
  • olive oil to drizzle
  • 1 large egg or two

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare your asparagus. Snap off one half-inch off the ends and then cut into three sections.
  • Coat a baking tray with cooking spray and place in the asparagus and mushrooms.
  • Let vegetables roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Place the butternut squash noodles on another baking tray and drizzle olive oil. Mix to combine thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. 5 minutes before the other vegetables are done, add in these noodles. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until softened to your preference.
  • After you put the noodles in the oven, add a medium-sized saucepan filled 1/3 the way with water. Heat until bubbles form on the bottom, almost at boiling level.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer, crack an egg into a small dish, and pour very carefully and slowly into the water.
  • Let cook for about 3-4 minutes. Pull the egg out with a slotted spoon and poke it. If it is jiggly yet firm, it's done. If it's hard to the touch, it's overdone. If it's too delicate, cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Place the spoon on a folded paper towel to drain, while you finish preparing the pasta.
  • Place your butternut squash noodles in a bowl with the roasted vegetables. Top with the drained poached egg. Enjoy!
