Pasta Aglio e Olio with Eggs Sunny Side Up!

5 / 5 (2 reviews)

Something delicious this way comes! This surprisingly easy pasta has many layers of flavor. Roasted garlic and olive oil combined with fresh garlic and olive oil, parsley, red pepper flakes and sea salt in just the right combination make this pasta a truly special main dish or extraordinary side dish. And it only takes minutes to prepare! Serving with eggs is optional.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Set a large pot of water to boil and prepare all ingredients.

  2. Begin cooking pasta to package instructions.

  3. Place a large cast iron skillet on cook top and heat 3 tablespoons olive oil on medium/low heat.

  4. Add ¾ of your garlic (saving the rest for later) and a pinch of sea salt to oil.

  5. Cook on medium/low heat until garlic is simmering, stirring frequently, then reduce heat to low. Continue to stir frequently till garlic is frothy and straw colored. This will take about 6 minutes.

  6. Be patient and don’t forget to stir cooking pasta while waiting.

  7. When garlic is frothy and straw colored, immediately turn off heat, add 3T parsley, remaining garlic, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons pasta water and juice of half a lemon to pan, stir.

  8. When pasta is al dente, strain in a colander, do not rinse.

  9. Add pasta to skillet with oil and herbs. Toss, scraping down side of pan with silicone spatula to evenly distribute herbs throughout pasta.

You always know what I like and I can make the exact same recipe with daikon noodles, for a grain-free version! We love eggs like this and we LOVE garlic. I can totally relate about the camera in one hand and the fork in the other, lol. And so funny about your neighbors!!! :)

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
