- 2 C 56g Corn Flakes, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400F.
- Cook the pasta according to its packaging.
- Whisk the eggs and egg whites together before adding to a large skillet over medium heat. Fully cook.

- If you're using all egg whites, use 2 1/3 C (570g) liquid egg whites.
- To omit the alfredo sauce, add 1/2 C (113g) Greek yogurt and an extra 1/2 C (56g) cheese (cheddar or mozzarella get my vote).
