Breakfast Pasta

This is one of my favorite brunch dishes to make, especially if we’ve had a big night out the evening prior... or these days, a big night in. Each bite is super addictive, salty and with big bold flavors.

(Extra points if you decide to pair this meal with the hair of the dog ;)

INGREDIENTS

• Kosher salt

• 1 pound spaghetti

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (reserve more to shave on top if desired)

• Freshly ground pepper

• 6 large eggs

• Finely chopped fresh chives, for topping

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.

2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a separate large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.

3. Add the pasta, 1/2 cup reserved cooking water and the parmesan to the pot with the bacon. Cook, stirring and adding more cooking water as needed, until coated; season with salt and pepper.

4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Top the pasta with the eggs, chives and extra Parmesan cheese.
