The Best Breakfast Pasta | Fried Egg Pasta with Frankie Celenza

Pasta for breakfast? Thumbs up if you think this is a great idea, too.

RECIPE
Ingredients:
1/2 package spaghetti
1 small block of Pecorino Romano cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 eggs
Red chili flakes

Steps:
1. Cook pasta in unsalted water for 6 minutes, or according to package instructions.
2. While pasta is cooking, grate 1 to 1 1/2 cups cheese into a large bowl.
3. Heat a small pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and fry eggs. Using a spoon, baste the eggs with the hot oil to cook evenly and quickly. Transfer eggs to a plate.
4. Using tongs, transfer pasta to the pan where the eggs were fried. Sprinkle in half of the cheese and toss to coat. Add pasta water as needed to help the sauce form.
5. Plate and top each serving with a fresh grating of Pecorino Romano. Sprinkle with red chili flakes and a fried egg. Crack the yolk and serve immediately.

I thought I was going crazy, then realized this wasn't struggle meals lol

Frankie must have spent more than $2 on this dish, hence his mood in this video.

Not gonna lie, the pasta falling out of the pan bothered me

But the *real* question is what happened to Struggle Meals? Are they between seasons?

I've been a fan of Tastemade for quite sometime and Frankie is definitely their diamond in the rough. He knows how to explain ingredients and techniques to people in a way that we fellow chefs and cooks understand and implement ourselves. This guy knows whats up, would love to cook with him one day!

[janelleali]

I like this guy show. He was the first person that I’ve learned of how to make eggs look like cheesy eggs without the cheese. He’s really good!
