Breakfast Pasta for Dinner

Pasta, eggs, and cheese make a deliciously quick, easy, and unique meal for a mid-week dinner or weekend brunch. This may sound unappetizing to some but trust me--the eggs combined with the Parmesan make a rich, creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the pasta.

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
• ¼ cup sliced green onion
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup diced fresh tomato
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Pasta should still be firm. Drain.

Step 2

At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step 3

Return crumbled bacon to the skillet with green onion and garlic; cook in the drippings over medium heat until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add drained spaghetti and mix well.

Step 4

Slowly add beaten eggs and scramble with the spaghetti mixture for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder; continue to scramble until all ingredients are combined. Stir in diced tomatoes and serve.
