SPAGHETTI AND FRIED EGGS
Absolutely wonderful! It doesn't get any easier - or tastier - than this recipe. I made it as soon as I saw the recipe (provided by Mark Bittman) and was supremely happy with the results. This recipe is a good 'trick' to have up your sleeve when time is short and the pantry is bare.

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.

Steps:
- Begin by separating the room temperature eggs. In a small bowl, you will want to have egg whites. Set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, you will need to put the egg yolks. You want the yolk bowl a bit bigger bowl to add the parmesan. Whisk the eggs so that yolks are creamy. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons of the parmesan cheese with the yolks and set aside keeping it at room temperature.
- Once both cloves of garlic are crushed, the peel falls right off. Remove the peels. Warm the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Reduce to low heat and add the crushed garlic and let it warm in the olive oil slowly for 3-4 minutes. Once the garlic is just starting to brown, you want to remove it. You do not want to burn or "cook" the garlic, it is more about getting the essence of the garlic to flavor the olive oil slowly.
- Add the pasta and stir to combine and coat with the garlic-infused oil. Let it fry in the skillet on medium-high heat in an even layer for 5 minutes. Toss with tongs every minute or so to ensure all sides of the spaghetti get fried.
- Turn the heat down to low and let the heat come down for 2 minutes. To the spaghetti add the egg whites to cook over low heat. Gently scramble them and coat the pasta. Once heated through and combine, try and get it in a single layer in the pan so some of the pasta and eggs can fry a bit. You don't want to burn the eggs but get them a little bit fried. Turn off the heat to cool it a bit from the fried stage. You want it warm but not blazing hot.
- Add two tablespoons of the egg yolk mixture to the warm pasta. Toss with tongs to combine so the warm pasta can gently warm up the egg yolks. Do not add it HOT or all of the egg yolks at once as it will cook/scramble the egg yolks. You want the egg yolks to combine with the pasta slowly and warm just enough to create a creamy sauce. Add a small amount of pasta at a time, stir and repeat 2-3x. Once all the egg yolk mixture is combined with the pasta, add additional parmesan cheese at this time and toss in the pan with tongs.
- Divide the fried spaghetti into two pasta bowls. Top with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese as a topping. Also, add salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste and serve.
- Enjoy immediately.

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.

Steps:
- Roast peppers under a broiler or on a gas burner with flame on low. Turn them regularly so that they char all over. When they are fully blistered, place them in a paper or plastic bag. Let cool, then peel the peppers. When you cut them open, catch any pepper liquid in a small bowl. Trim off stem end, scrape out seeds and cut out ribs. Then slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- In a small baking dish, combine peppers, capers, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Just before it boils, sprinkle 2 tablespoons olive oil over red peppers, and place in oven for 10 minutes. Add pasta to boiling water, and cook until al dente. After a few minutes, scoop out a cup of water, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium sauté pan over medium heat, place 3 tablespoons olive oil. When it shimmers, crack in the eggs and fry, sunny side up, until whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove from burner.
- Drain pasta, and pour it into a large, warm serving bowl. Using 2 forks, toss in the baked peppers and fried eggs, adding some of the egg-cooking olive oil. As you toss, break whites into pieces and let yolks act as sauce; they will spread over the pasta and cook further from the heat. Add a little reserved pasta water if it gets too thick.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve, passing cheese on the side.
