Top Ramen Pizza

Hi everyone my name is Carly Evens, I decided to share this recipe because it is a very college friendly recipe and a lot of people enjoy it!

Top Ramen Pizza is not the healthiest of foods to eat but it is very budget and time friendly. This comes in handy when being a college student. Those late nights studying or doing homework and you don't have much time to cook the healthiest foods.

RECIPE:

Ingredients:
- 1 package instant ramen
- shredded cheese
- 1 egg
- pizza sauce
- toppings such as pepperoni

Directions:
Cook ramen noodles for 30 seconds less than the instructions on the package. Drain the noodles of excess water and put into bowl. Add 1 egg and mix very well to coat the noodles. Add oil to frying pan and cook your ramen noodles. Shape and flatten with spatula. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Flip over. Spread pizza sauce on. Add cheese and toppings. Cover and cook until the bottom is crispy and golden brown and cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Tastes: I made two batches of Top Ramen Pizza the first I followed to the recipe exactly, the second one I alternated it to my liking of tastes. The first one was a little plain and didn't have very much flavoring. The second one I added extra cheese to the ramen when I was mixing it with the egg this way the ramen had a cheesy flavor rather than just a noodle flavor.

The preparation and cook time for this recipe is very low. It takes roughly 15-20 minutes to make. This being very helpful to anyone who doesn't have very much time to prep and cook a lunch or dinner.

Even though this recipe ingredients lack in some nutrients other ingredients will help pick them up. Example being eggs lack in sugars where the pizza sauce makes up for it. This recipe is very high in sodium. You are supposed to have 1500mg of sodium a day in this meal you get that plus some! Depending on how you make it and what toppings you add there can be a lot of calories in this meal. this can be a good and bad thing, depending on if you are wanting more or less calories. You will find most foods now a days are high in calories. The meats do add for a healthy source of protein, which is very helpful in gaining energy.
