If you're like us, you're not good at the art of pasta/sauce estimation. We always end up with a couple handfuls of orphan pasta that gets bagged and fridged. One of us (we're not saying which) likes to eat it with barbecue sauce and parmesan cheese. The other concocted this simple dish for lunch the other day. It'd be better, of course, if you made the pasta fresh, but that's not the point.
Egg and Leftover Pasta
(serves one, easily scaled)
1 bowl leftover pasta (if you have spaghetti or linguini, consider cutting it up)
1 egg
2 tbsp chopped parsley
Parmesan cheese
Pepper
Butter
Olive oil
1. Put the pasta a tbsp of water in a microwave and heat.
2. Drizzle with oil and toss with a good lump of butter until the butter is melted.
3. Add some of the parsley, a few good grinds of pepper, and about 1 tbsp cheese and combine.
4. Fry the egg over easy.
5. Place egg on pasta, garnish with more parsley and cheese.
