Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound linguine or fettuccine
1 large bunch thin asparagus (1 pound), ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1/2 ounce), plus more for serving (optional)
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions, adding the asparagus in the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid; drain pasta and asparagus and return to pot along with butter and Parmesan. Toss until butter is melted, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta.
  • While pasta is cooking, in a large straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until a few bubbles rise to the top. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently pour into skillet. Cook until whites are set and yolks are runny, 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • To serve, divide pasta among 4 bowls, top each serving with an egg, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.

This recipe is a great starting point. I like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the sauce.

I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan to taste.
