FunGuy’s Eggs in Purgatory on Spaghetti

Is it breakfast or dinner? How about breakfast FOR dinner with FunGuy’s eggs in purgatory on spaghetti pasta!

This spicy Italian dish uses fresh tomatoes, our sliced mushrooms, and a good pinch of red pepper flakes to create a flavorful sauce to poach a few eggs until perfect. We’ve then taken that sauce and egg and spooned it over spaghetti pasta to make it a quick and easy breakfast for dinner that’s done in just over thirty minutes! 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add in the dry spaghetti and allow to boil for about 8 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.
2. While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the FunGuy mushrooms to the pan and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, sautéing 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomato and cook another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. 
4. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the tomato sauce, red pepper paste, and water and let simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10-15 minutes or until it has started to thicken. Taste and season with salt as necessary.
5. Carefully crack the eggs into the tomato and mushroom sauce and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are firm and about 2-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 6-7 for a more solid yolk. 
6. Once the spaghetti is cooked through, drain of excess water in a colander.  
7. Plate the spaghetti and top with the tomato and mushrooms sauce, an egg on each, and basil leaves to top it off. Serve immediately!

Have a Fun meal!
