PASTA WITH ONIONS & EGGS

PASTA WITH ONIONS & EGGS

                                            

The other night I was watching “Criminal Minds” this is a TV show about a division of the FBI.

In this story at the end after the case was solved they went over to one of the members of this FBI group’s home and he made them dinner.

I was fascinated by what he made. I had never heard of this before but it sounded interesting so today I did some research and came up with the recipe for the dinner that was made on this show.

It’s simple, inexpensive, and a way to celebrate the true taste of pasta.

Here is the recipe down sized for our meal:

PASTA WITH ONIONS & EGGS        

¼ lb. pasta

2 eggs

1 chopped clove of garlic

½ med. onion

Olive oil

Directions

1, Bring a pot of water to a boil.

2. Slice onions fine and sauté in olive oil  with garlic until golden. Set aside.

3. Cook pasta and before draining add a little of the water to the onions. Drain pasta.

4. Quickly beat eggs with a little salt and pepper, add to the onions, and pour all over the hot pasta. Toss well and serve immediately with a little Parmesan or Romano. Serves 2

Since finding this recipe I have found suggestions of what else can go in this dish. For example, bacon, grape tomatoes, sea food, and much more. This seems to be a good base for lots of different versions of this meal.

But for today lets stick with baics as I did and just add your favorite toss salad on the said. Mine would include:

lettuce, onion, celery, chick peas, and a sprinkling from the trail mix package I get from the dollar store.

I use a poppy seed salad dressing but with this mean any salad dressing you prefer is fine.

Bring it back to basics and enjoy and keep it simple!
