Number Of Ingredients 17

1 oz spaghetti, broken
2 oz rotini pasta
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 c onions, chopped
2 tsp garlic powder to taste
4 oz sliced mushrooms
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 large egg, lighly beaten
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp fresh basil leaves
1 tsp dried oregano
white pepper to taste
pinch salt
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
cilantro, leaves optional

Steps:

  • 1. Use a 2-cup pyrex to measure out 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of mixed pasta; break about 1 ounce of long spaghetti in halves or thirds; place in the cup, and add enough of the rotini (about 2 ounces) to make up the difference.
  • 2. Cook pastas together; spaghetti will be over-cooked, and the starch will act as a binder.
  • 3. While the pasta is cooking, brown beef; remove fat as it appears.
  • 4. When meat is no longer pink, then add olive oil and onions and fry, stirring, to soften and sweat the onions.
  • 5. Add garlic, mushrooms, parsley, and the Italian seasoning and blend.
  • 6. Continue cooking and stirring until mushrooms are warmed (not limp).
  • 7. Remove from heat but keep warm.
  • 8. Drain the pasta but do not rinse.
  • 9. Put pasta back in the pot used to cook it.
  • 10. Add the hamburger mixture.
  • 11. Make a well in the center of the spaghetti mixture and working quickly, mix the egg and extra oil.
  • 12. Using moderately high heat, quickly pour the egg mixture into the well and stir, constantly, to both coat the pasta, and to cook the egg.
  • 13. Season with basil, oregano and pepper.
  • 14. Add the parmesan and optional cilantro.
