Best Fried Egg Red Pepper Garlic And Herb Topping For Pasta Recipes

HERBED PAPPARDELLE WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Set a large pot filled with 5 quarts of water over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Add 6 tablespoons fine sea salt or 1/2 cup kosher salt. Set a colander in the sink.
• Lightly dust a sheet of pasta with semolina flour, then loosely roll into thirds lengthwise, like folding a letter. Using a sharp knife, cut noodles in 3/4-inch increments. Shake off the excess semolina, and repeat with remaining pasta sheets. Form pasta into small nests (about 3 ounces per portion) on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and dusted with semolina.
• Add 4 nests of pasta to the water and stir. (Freeze the rest of the pasta for later use.)
• Set a large frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the garlic threatens to turn golden, about 1 minute.
• Just before the garlic begins to brown, add 1 cup pasta cooking water and increase heat to medium-high. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces by about a third.
• Cook pasta until al dente, about 3 minutes, and drain, reserving another cup of pasta water.
• Add drained pasta to the pan and toss. Add parsley, and continue cooking over medium heat for 1 minute, tossing continuously with tongs. If pasta looks dry, add a little pasta water. It should be slightly wetter than you are comfortable with, because the pasta will continue to absorb sauce even after you pull it from the heat. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Remove from heat, and serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan.

LINGUINE WITH FRIED EGGS AND GARLIC

Steps:

Stir in garlic; cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add pepper flakes., Break two eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer; slip into skillet on top of garlic and pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low; cook until whites are completely set., Drain linguine; return to pan. Add cooked egg mixture; stir in 2 tablespoons cheese, salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Keep warm. In the same skillet, heat remaining oil and butter over medium heat. Break remaining eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer; slip into skillet. Reduce heat to low; cook until whites are set and yolks begin to thicken, turning once if desired., Serve pasta in individual bowls. Top with fried eggs, additional cheese for sprinkling and, if desired, parsley.

FRIED EGG, RED PEPPER, GARLIC AND HERB TOPPING FOR PASTA

Steps:

• While the pasta for this dish is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and cook, sunny-side up, basting with a spoon for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, or until the eggs are just done. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle eggs with coarse salt and hot red pepper flakes.
• Time the dish so that the pasta is ready as soon as the eggs are done. Place the pasta on a serving platter and toss with the Parmagiano-Reggiano, additional pepper flakes and parsley. Pour the contents of the egg pan, including the oil, butter and garlic onto the pasta. Garnish pasta and eggs with oregano or sage and serve immediately.

RED PEPPER, ARUGULA, FRIED EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a baking sheet roast red bell peppers until blackened on all sides. Remove from oven, allow to cool, remove peel and seeds, roughly chop. Set aside.
• Spread approximately 1-ounce of cream cheese on each slice of bread. Top with chopped peppers, a few leaves of arugula, one fried egg each. Garnish with a sprinkle of sweet paprika.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Start the sauce in the next step, and start cooking the pasta when the water boils.
• Combine garlic and 4 tablespoons of the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic, pressing it into the oil occasionally to release its flavor; it should barely color on both sides. Remove the garlic, and add the remaining oil.
• Fry the eggs gently in the oil, until the whites are just about set and the yolks still quite runny. Drain the pasta, and toss with the eggs and oil, breaking up the whites as you do. (The eggs will finish cooking in the heat of the pasta.) Season to taste, and serve immediately, with cheese if you like.
