6:00 pm, you walk through the door after a long day at work and it hits you, “What’s for dinner?” You don’t want to go back out in the hustle and bustle world, it’s been a long day, and you’re exhausted. You just want to pop open a bottle of Rosé and kick up your feet (Well… I do at least 🍷😍 ). Instead of calling up and ordering that pizza, I’ve got an easy, filling and delicious meal that will take just a few minutes to throw together. Plus, chances are you have all the ingredients on hand.
Pasta with Fried Eggs and Parmesan is a comforting dish that is so much better for you than any greasy fast food or take out. It also works great with any leftover pasta you have on hand.
Note: This is not a carbonara, it’s a much simpler dish.
I think you guys are really going to enjoy this recipe. Let me show you how easy it is to put together!
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Meanwhile, let’s get started on the sauce. Heat up 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add in lightly smashed garlic cloves and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly colored on each side. Smash them around a little while cooking. This is going to really flavor the oil without overpowering it. Remove garlic and add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
Once the water is boiling, add in the pasta and cook to “Al Dente” according to package instructions.
While our pasta is boiling away, add the eggs into our garlic infused oil, still over medium-low heat. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Turn off the heat.
Drain the pasta and add to the pan. Here comes the MAGIC people!
Toss the pasta with the eggs, breaking up the yolks.
The eggs will finish cooking from the heat of the pasta.
Add in 1/4 cup parmesan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy! A delicious meal in minutes!
Make it a great weekend 🙂
