The pangrattato tops it all off by adding bits of crunch and bright bursts of lemon and rosemary. I usually make a big batch of the pangrattato and store it in my fridge – it is great on so many things – I use it to top fish, other pasta dishes, warm mushroom salads, etc.
Rhonda's Spaghetti with Fried Eggs and Pangrattato for One
Serves: one
Pangratatto
- 2tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3cup fresh or stale coarse breadcrumbs
- 2teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
- Zest from half a lemon
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breadcrumbs and sauté until golden and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the rosemary, immediately remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Mix in lemon zest and set aside.
Spaghetti and Eggs
- 4ounces spaghetti
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- 1tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2cloves garlic, minced
- 2large eggs
- 2tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
- 1teaspoon small capers, drained
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta to al dente according to directions on box. (I usually undercook the pasta by about a minute.)
- Wipe out the skillet from the pangrattato, add 1 T olive oil and 1 T butter and melt together over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and immediately break the eggs into the skillet.
- If need be, lower the heat a bit. You want the garlic to cook without burning and the egg whites to set, but the yolks to remain runny.
- Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 c of the cooking liquid.
- Add pasta back to the pot, add the eggs and all the fat from the skillet, add the parsley and capers and toss well, breaking up the eggs as you do. If you prefer a wetter dish, you can add in some of the reserved cooking liquid.
- Plate the pasta and eggs, season well with freshly ground black pepper, sprinkle with the grated cheese and then top with the pangrattato.
- Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy!
