This isn't your standard spaghetti recipe, but it sure tastes good. Serve with a large handful of watercress for an extra peppery punch.
Ingredients
- 30g spaghetti
- Knob of butter
- 6 medium free-range eggs
- 25g Parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
- Handful of chopped fresh summer herbs such as chives and parsley
- ½ red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
- Handful of watercress to serve
Method
- 1. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, then refresh under cold water and drain again (alternatively, use up any leftover cooked spaghetti).
- 2. Heat a sauté pan over a high heat and melt half the butter. Add half the spaghetti and cook, stirring, until it begins to crisp.
- 3. Whisk 3 of the eggs in a jug with a little seasoning, adding half the Parmesan, half the herbs and half the chilli. Pour into the pan, stir well, then cook for 2 minutes until beginning to set in the centre.
- 4. Fold the omelette, then slide onto a warmed serving plate. Keep it warm while you repeat with the rest of the butter, pasta, eggs, cheese, herbs and chilli. Serve topped with watercress and the extra Parmesan.
