NOTE:
You must time this dish so that the pasta is ready as soon as the eggs are done.
While the pasta for this dish is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying
pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and
cook, sunny-side up, basting with a spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, or until
the eggs are just done (the yolks should still be runny and the whites, while set, still
soft). Remove the pan from the heat and remove the eggs to a warmed plate; sprinkle eggs
with coarse salt and hot red pepper flakes.
When the pasta is done, drain and toss with the Parmesan cheese, additional red pepper
flakes, and parsley.
Divide the pasta among 4 individual warmed serving bowls or plates.
Pour the contents of the egg pan (including the oil, butter, and garlic) onto the top of
each individual pasta. Top each portion with a fried egg.
If desired, garnish pasta and eggs with oregano
or sage.
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese at the table.
NOTE: Each diner should break up the egg and mix
it into the pasta to create a sauce.
Makes 4 servings.
