Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 large bulb fennel, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 cups baby spinach (about 5 ounces)
1 recipe Homemade Cavatelli
6 large eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle lemons and fennel with 1/4 cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Roast until caramelized and tender, flipping halfway through, about 25 minutes. Stir in spinach. Return to oven and roast until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook cavatelli in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to baking sheet with vegetables; toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry eggs in batches until whites are set and yolks are still loose, about 4 minutes a batch. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top each serving of pasta with a fried egg and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
