Power-packed breakfast

This idea was born while watching the food network one night. It combines a lot of the things I love, and puts them into one dish that helps me fuel my day. I'll have to add a picture later, but it's a simple dish to make, so let's get to it.
First, start by boiling some water... that leads to the sweet sound of pasta cooking. I prefer whole wheat linguine noodles. I just can't eat the unhealthy ones anymore. The main reason, the whole wheat noodles will give you the feeling of being full longer, which is what you want. Cook them for about 10 minutes.
Get a skillet going over medium heat with 3 minutes before the noodles are done.  Put in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and then whatever spices you want. I prefer garlic, lemon pepper and some chili powder. Drain the noodles and add to the hot pan. Move them around so the take on the spices you added. Then added a generous handful of spinach. Add a bunch, cause it cooks down a lot. Then add a half cup of Italian cheese mix, or whatever cheese you prefer. Let it start to melt, then add three eggs (I use two whites and yolks, then mix in an eggs worth of whites). Toss the noodles around in the pan so they are coated by the eggs and cook until the eggs are done. There you go. A power packed breakfast with good carbs, protien and the added nutrients of spinach.

2 oz whole wheat noodles
Handful of spinach
Two whole eggs and one egg white
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of cheese of your choice
Spices
