Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 8 ounces spaghetti, cooked
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing mushrooms, grating Parmesan cheese, and chopping fresh parsley.
- Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
- In a large skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms over medium heat until they release their moisture and become golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add cream to the mushrooms, stirring gently to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked spaghetti to the cream and mushroom mixture, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. If sauce seems too thick, add a little reserved pasta water.
- In a separate pan, carefully crack eggs and cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, keeping yolks slightly runny.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the spaghetti mixture, stirring to incorporate.
- Plate the creamy spaghetti and top each serving with a cooked egg.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional ground black pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while the pasta is hot and eggs are fresh.
