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.

MURRAY'S FRIED SPAGHETTI



Murray's Fried Spaghetti image

A great use of leftovers, and one of Bird's Dad's best recipes for a budget. Amounts are rough estimates, as it just depends on how much 'leftover' stuff you have available. Salt and black pepper are the only spices needed for this dish, although peppery makes a nice kick to it.

STIR-FRIED SPAGHETTI



Stir-Fried Spaghetti image

This is a quick, healthy week-day meal, very fast to put together if you have leftover spaghetti noodles on hand. I like to use Barilla Plus spaghetti... it is higher in protein than regular spaghetti and tastes so good. Whole wheat spaghetti would be good, too.

SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE TOPPED WITH FRENCH FRIED ONIONS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Spaghetti Casserole topped with French Fried Onions Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by MissAlyssaG

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1 pound soy crumbles (optional)
1 large can spaghetti sauce (26.5 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green peppers (I usually omit or substitute red peppers)
1/3 cup chopped onions
8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
French Fried Onions (small can)
Maybe add some other veggies instead of soy crumbles

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti according to directions on the package. Cook to al dente, drain and set aside. Heat up soy crumbles. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet and heat. Combine onions, peppers and butter in small glass bowl. Cover and microwave 4 minutes on HIGH until soft. Add cream cheese and milk to vegetables and stir well. (If cream cheese is not soft, nuke it for 20-30 seconds to make it easy to spread.) Using a 10 x 6 dish, assemble in the following order: Thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spaghetti Cream cheese/vegetable mixture Spaghetti sauce Parmesan Cheese (amount subject to your own taste) French Fried Onions (added during last 5 minutes of cooking) Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with French Fried onion and continue baking 5 more minutes. (This is the secret ingredient-don't let them burn.)

Tips:

  • Use the right noodles. Spaghetti is the traditional choice for fried spaghetti, but you can also use other long, thin noodles like linguine, fettuccine, or angel hair.
  • Cook the noodles al dente. This means cooking them until they are still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and won't hold their shape well when fried.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the noodles plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over high heat. This will help the noodles crisp up and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the noodles to the pan and stir-fry until they are evenly browned. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sauce and vegetables and cook until heated through. This should take another 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Fried spaghetti is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Fried spaghetti is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
