Spaghetti & Eggs

[rousseauscores]

Friday night and I had no idea what to do for supper. Sort of had a craving for eggs. Looked around a bit more and saw that I still had some spaghetti left in a box. Had a flashback to my younger days. As a kid I hated spaghetti. Don't ask me why; I love it now! When I was 6 or 7 years old, the only way I would eat spaghetti was if my Mom fried some up in a pan with well beaten eggs & butter.

What the heck. Cooked up the spaghetti and when it was done I threw it in a hot frying pan with a couple of eggs, butter, lots of pepper and some Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer until the eggs were done. Simply delicious! It was nice to eat something and have a pleasant memory of my mother (who has passed away) cooking the same thing for me. All in all, the best meal I've had in a long long time!

I do this with macaroni to give it more fluffiness and so I feel it's a bit healthier. Just add to the pot after draining the water, no need to fry it.

I sometimes make a quick meal of can of soup with eggs and pasta or rice. Get the soup boiling and crack in a couple of eggs and turn down the heat to a slow simmer. Take a shower and then throw in some old pasta or cooked rice, let simmer for a few more minutes.

Thanks. By the way, about your name-by any chance, is there a connection with the island of Malta?

I didn't think there was a Maltese connection, that doesn't seem like the type of name a Maltese girl would use. I did a quick look through some of Sabiha's posts and found this:

B'lieve the word carbonara refers to the guys who made charcoal. The recipe I've always followed uses the heat from the just-drained pasta to cook the eggs. Bacon optional.

The Holy Trinity

Pasta frittata is part of what I consider the holy trinity of winter comfort food, the others are Vietnamese pho and Shepperd's pie. The third possibly saved my mother's life.

She was rushed to hospital smitten with that virulent flu strain that going around, she also has congestive heart problems and I feared the worst. On Tuesday she was at her frailest. Shepperd's Pie was on the menu, that day, so I ordered it for her while she slept. When it arrived she looked at it and typical of an old Italian lady mumbled wtf; but she did eat it all. When I returned the next day she had improved - English culinary fortitude had worked its magic. She was released on Friday with greater respect for the cuisine of the nation with the worst food in the world.

It worked for them, if it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger!
