What are the ingredients needed to make this Easy High Protein Breakfast Pasta?

I used the following ingredients 9 ingredients:

1. Extra virgin olive oil
   Or any other oil you may have on hand.
   
2. Onion
   I used a yellow onion. However, a red onion could be used as well. And, if you would rather not have to sniffle through peeling and dicing an onion, then feel free to use about a cup of precut onion that is sold in the produce section of most grocery stores.
   
3. High protein pasta
   I chose EQUII pasta for this recipe. EQUII is made with fermented yeast, giving you all nine essential amino acids for muscle support and energy. It is a complete protein pasta with 28 grams of protein, 10 grams of fiber, and 30% fewer net carbs per serving. EQUII is vegan, non-GMO, AND soy-free. It makes healthy eating delicious and simple.
   I cooked EQUII in salted water. But, you could also cook it in vegetable broth for extra flavor. By the way, you can order EQUII pasta here, make sure to enter code SHASHI25 to get 25% off your order!
   
4. Eggs
   I use 3 eggs when I use the whole box of pasta and 2 when I only use 3/4 of it. However, I would urge you to use as many as you would like to.
   
5. Avocado
   I love avocado for its taste and creamy texture. But, it can be replaced with green peas or simply left out.
   
6. Bell pepper
   I used a yellow bell pepper as that is what I had on hand. A green bell pepper or red one could be used instead. Or, some tomatoes could be added in instead.
   
7. Veggie Sausage
   All I had was a veggie sausage, but a chicken sausage or any sausage of your choice could be used.
   
8. Chili Onion oil
   To me, this was the magical ingredient that united all the others so well. I got the chili onion oil I used in this recipe from Trader Joe’s. However, if you cannot seem to find any chili onion oil, then you can make your own chili oil by combining 3 tbsp of olive oil with 2 tsp of red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika.
   
9. Parsley
   I used parsley to garnish this breakfast pasta. But it is another optional ingredient and can be omitted if you do not have any on hand or replaced with cilantro.

And, salt and pepper to taste.

Saute the veggie sausage patty or chicken sausage in the other skillet. When done, set aside.
  
• Rinse and chop up the bell pepper or tomatoes.

• When the pasta is ready, drain it and add the warm pasta to a large bowl. Add in the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. Then add in the chopped bell pepper or tomatoes. Mix all the ingredients so they are combined.
  
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
