Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces gluten-free chickpea spaghetti, such as Good & Gather
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, such as Good & Gather, rinsed and drained
1 lemon, zested and juiced
5 ounces baby spinach

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan filled two-thirds full of water to a boil. Add a small handful of salt and the spaghetti. Cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions recommend.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon four 1-tablepoon rounds of Parmesan into the skillet, leaving space between each. Cook until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Using a thin spatula, flip the rounds and cook until golden and the chips start to stiffen, 1 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer the frico to a plate to cool and crisp. Do not wipe out the skillet.
  • Drain the spaghetti in a colander and rinse under cool water to prevent sticking. Wipe out the saucepan the pasta was cooked in. Place over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the broth to onion and garlic in the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the chickpeas and lemon zest and juice. Add the spinach, pasta and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Cook over medium heat, tossing gently, until the spinach is just wilted and the pasta is heated through; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the pasta among shallow bowls. Top each with a fried egg and a crumbled frico. Serve with more Parmesan.

GREENS WITH HOT BACON DRESSING



Greens with Hot Bacon Dressing image

Growing up in a German community, I ate this salad often. It's an old traditional dish-I recall my grandmother talking about her mother making this recipe. As a variation, the old-timers in my family cut up some boiled potatoes on dinner plates, then serve the warm salad mixture on top. -Robert Enigk, Canastota, New York

OLIVE OIL-FRIED EGG



Olive Oil-Fried Egg image

This method for making fried eggs lies somewhere between the techniques for Spanish fried eggs and for classic sunny side up: The edges are crispy and golden, the whites are set, yet the yolk is still runny. To achieve this contrast in textures, the eggs are cooked in a thin layer of rippling-hot oil. While this recipe is written for four eggs, it will work with any number. (Adjust the pan size and oil accordingly). Avoid touching the eggs until the bottoms and edges are lacy and crisp. Once that happens, spoon some of the oil onto the whites until cooked through. The yolk remains untouched, ready to be sopped up by toast or potatoes, or with yogurt.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 eggs

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 eggs
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until it ripples like the ocean. (This can take 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
  • Crack the eggs into the pan. To minimize splatters and spreading, open the shell near the oil (not from high up), and slowly let the egg pour out of the shell. Leave the eggs untouched until the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gently tilt the pan towards you, spoon up some of the oil, and baste just the whites and edges of the yolk until the whites are set, about 1 minute. (Avoid the yolk so that it stays runny). Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the eggs to plates using a spoon or slotted spatula.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or microwave bacon until crispy.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure the ingredients have enough space to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can substitute vegetable broth or water.
  • To make the dish more substantial, add a can of drained and rinsed white beans or chickpeas.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use a tablespoon of olive oil instead.
  • To add a touch of spice, season the pasta with a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder.
  • Serve the dish immediately, topped with a fried egg and grated Parmesan cheese.
