Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. rosemary
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. butter
- 2 oz. uncooked thin spaghetti
- 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp. chopped parsley
Step1
Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to water since this is the only chance you have to season the pasta.
Step2
Place butter in small skillet over medium heat. Before butter melts, add salt & pepper and rosemary.
Step3
Crack open egg into skillet without breaking the yolk or the whites. Allow the egg to cook with yolk facing up for about 3 minutes. When done, the egg should be cooked but the yolk will be firm but not solid.
Step4
Add thin spaghetti to water and cook 8-10 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
Step5
Drain spaghetti and save 1 cup of spaghetti water. Run cold water over spaghetti briefly and return to pot.
Step6
Add 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, parsley, and 1/4 cup of spaghetti water over low heat and stir til cheese begins melting.
Step7
Place spaghetti on a plate and sit fried egg on top. Cut into yolk first and use it to coat the spaghetti.
