Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the pasta. Set aside.

  2. Poach the Eggs: While the pasta is cooking, fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small cup or ramekin. Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water. Carefully slide each egg into the swirling water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.

  3. Combine the Pasta and Eggs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat with the oil. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to moisten the pasta. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Plate the Dish: Divide the pasta into serving bowls. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each serving. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Pasta With Poached Eggs immediately while the eggs are still warm and runny. Encourage everyone to break the egg yolks and let them cascade over the pasta for a deliciously creamy sauce. Pair this dish with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
