Breakfast Pasta from FOOD52
Imagine starting your day not with the usual cereal or toast, but with a bowl of warm, buttery pasta. Inspired by a unique recipe from Food52, I recently tried making breakfast pasta, a dish that cleverly combines the comforting textures and flavors reminiscent of both breakfast and dinner. The recipe is straightforward and brings a delightful touch of the Italian classic, carbonara, into the first meal of the day.

Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup pasta (like shells or elbows)
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp everything bagel spice
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Cook the pasta for 8 to 9 minutes, until cooked through (we like it a little past al dente for the comfort food factor).
- Remove the pot from the heat and drain the pasta. Add the butter to the still hot pot, then add the drained pasta on top and toss until the butter is mostly melted.
- Crack the egg right into the pasta. Working quickly, stir vigorously—the egg will cook from the heat of the pasta and create a glossy sauce. If your pasta has lost too much heat and the egg still looks raw, simply cook over low heat and continue to stir until the egg has cooked a tiny bit more.
- Spoon the pasta into bowls and sprinkle with the everything bagel spice.
