Who says pasta is only for dinner? In this recipe, we’re breaking the breakfast boundaries by turning everyone’s favorite Italian staple into a hearty morning meal. This Pasta Breakfast dish combines the comforting flavors of pasta with classic breakfast ingredients, creating a unique and delicious start to your day.
**Pasta Breakfast**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 oz spaghetti
– 4 slices bacon, chopped
– 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 4 eggs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Return the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the onions and garlic, tossing to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to moisten the pasta.
5. Push the spaghetti mixture to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty side. Season with salt and pepper. Let the eggs cook for about 1-2 minutes until the whites start to set.
6. Gently stir the eggs to scramble them while incorporating them into the spaghetti. Continue cooking and stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and mixed throughout the pasta.
7. Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet, along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
8. Taste the pasta breakfast and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
