How’d it Taste?

  • Joyce says:

    Don’t understand the recipe….cook egg on top of already cooked pasta Please clarify

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      It may be helpful to only cook two eggs at a time with 1/4 cup of the pasta, and make space for them on the pan. If you find it easier to fry the eggs separately that works too! Let us know how it goes.

  • Jen says:

    Hello, I think something is missing? How do u fry eggs when they are already placed atop the pasta?

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      Hi Jen, since the pasta will be hot and transferred to a pan before adding the eggs, this should work fine. Let us know how it goes!
