Pasta Mama (spagetti with eggs)

By RossanaV

Ingredients

• 5 ounces pasta, dry or fresh (like fettuccini or spaghetti)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or melted butter)
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare pasta according to package directions (or use any kind of leftover pasta). While pasta is cooking, mix seasonings together in a small bowl and beat the eggs in another bowl. Set aside. Pour oil (or melted butter) into a 10-inch sauté pan. Add minced garlic and the mixed seasonings (should be 1 teaspoon). Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Add parsley; add pasta with one tablespoon of hot water (if using leftover pasta, make sure it’s hot). Add the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly. Add Parmesan cheese, cook through and serve.

Variations: Pasta Mama has as many variations as you can imagine. Add any vegetables you would put in an omelet; other cheeses, sausage, bacon, chicken; adjust seasonings to taste. Enjoy! Serves 2.
