Arguably, carbonara is the best pasta dish to put an egg on and call brunch. After all, the traditional recipe calls for a raw egg to bind the sauce together with pancetta (or bacon) and fresh cheese. So why not add more egg into the mix? I had fun creating this “nest” version of carbonara,…

Prosciutto Naan Breakfast Pizzas
This was the week of naan pizzas – complete with a saltier, meatier version, compared to the zucchini/squash one I made previously. To contrast the prosciutto’s saltiness in this version, I baked the pizzas with tomato slices as a topping. I removed them for my photos, because I didn’t like how the colors were working…

Lacking ziti noodles, and craving the combo of butternut squash and goat cheese, I cooked up this comfort food breakfast with penne, instead. The yolks were a wonderful complement to the sauce and cheese! Also, I happened to have gluten-free chickpea pasta so that’s…

Poached Eggs on Pasta alla Bolognese

If you have extra leftover pasta, and have already tried eggs in pasta hell or eggs in pasta nests, you must try my favorite yolk pasta combo…
Eggs in Pasta Nests
You know me: I like to put eggs in my pasta leftovers. Here’s a new, snack-size way to do it. Stay tuned for updates as I try these nests with more types of pasta! Also, consider these for your meal-prep purposes – they were just as delicious the second day. Ingredients: 6 eggs (Makes 4 pasta…
Eggs in Mac & Cheese
Two perfect foods, combined. The result of a collaboration with DC food-blogger and fellow cheese-lover, A Hole Lotta Cheese! We used a mac & cheese recipe by The Pioneer Woman as our foundation, which you can find here. Our modifications for baking it with a yolky touch are below. You can also make this using any leftover mac…
