Breakfast Pasta for Dinner image

Pasta, eggs, and cheese make a deliciously quick, easy, and unique meal for a mid-week dinner or weekend brunch. This may sound unappetizing to some but trust me--the eggs combined with the Parmesan make a rich, creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the pasta.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
4 slices bacon
¼ cup sliced green onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic, or more to taste
4 large eggs, beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ cup diced fresh tomato

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Pasta should still be firm. Drain.
  • At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.
  • Return crumbled bacon to the skillet with green onion and garlic; cook in the drippings over medium heat until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add drained spaghetti and mix well.
  • Slowly add beaten eggs and scramble with the spaghetti mixture for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder; continue to scramble until all ingredients are combined. Stir in diced tomatoes and serve.
