SPAGHETTI WITH FRIED EGGS



Spaghetti With Fried Eggs image

Here's a quick and delicious pasta dish to make when you have little time, and even less food in the house. All you need is a box of spaghetti, four eggs, olive oil and garlic (Parmesan is a delicious, but optional, addition).

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 or 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt
1/2 pound thin spaghetti
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or lard
2 large cloves garlic, lightly smashed and peeled
4 eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Start the sauce in the next step, and start cooking the pasta when the water boils.
  • Combine garlic and 4 tablespoons of the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic, pressing it into the oil occasionally to release its flavor; it should barely color on both sides. Remove the garlic, and add the remaining oil.
  • Fry the eggs gently in the oil, until the whites are just about set and the yolks still quite runny. Drain the pasta, and toss with the eggs and oil, breaking up the whites as you do. (The eggs will finish cooking in the heat of the pasta.) Season to taste, and serve immediately, with cheese if you like.

  • Return drained pasta and mix well with butter.

Tips:

  • Utilize quality ingredients: Fresh and top-notch ingredients elevate the flavor of your pasta salad. Choose flavorful pasta, crisp vegetables, and a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing for optimal results.
  • Cook pasta al dente: To achieve the perfect texture, boil the pasta according to the package instructions and drain it when it's al dente, slightly firm to the bite. This ensures that the pasta holds its shape well in the salad.
  • Cool pasta and vegetables before assembling: Allowing the pasta and vegetables to cool completely before combining them with the dressing prevents the salad from becoming soggy. This ensures that each ingredient retains its texture and flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: Use just enough dressing to coat the pasta and vegetables lightly. Overdressing can make the salad heavy and greasy. It's better to add more dressing if needed, rather than starting with too much.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more delicious and satisfying dish.

Conclusion:

Pasta salad is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish that can be customized to suit various preferences. With endless variations and combinations of ingredients, the possibilities are limitless. Whether you prefer a classic macaroni salad, a refreshing Greek pasta salad, or a hearty chicken pasta salad, there's a recipe for every occasion. Experiment with different ingredients, dressings, and toppings to create your own signature pasta salad that will delight your taste buds and impress your guests. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and embark on a culinary adventure to create a pasta salad that's uniquely yours!
