One Pot Spaghetti and Eggs
Description
One Pot Spaghetti and Eggs brings together spaghetti, seasoned ground beef, garlic, and onion cooked in a tomato-based pasta sauce diluted with chicken broth and accented with red pepper flakes. The spaghetti cooks directly in the flavorful liquid until tender, absorbing the savory sauce. After cooking, wells are made in the pasta to crack in eggs, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Baking the skillet in an oven sets the eggs so that whites are firm and yolks remain runny, adding a creamy and rich texture contrast to the hearty beef and tender pasta.
The combination provides a satisfying one-pan meal with layers of flavor—spicy notes from crushed red pepper flakes, richness from the melted cheeses, and aromatic freshness from parsley garnish. This dish is practical and comforting, suitable for a filling dinner or meal prep, and can be served directly from the skillet.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 pasta sauce 24-ounce jar
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 10 ounces spaghetti uncooked
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 egg large
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef, garlic and onion to the skillet, and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in pasta sauce, chicken broth, red pepper flakes and spaghetti; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
- Create 4 small wells with the back of a spoon. Gently crack eggs and slide it into each well, keeping the yolk intact. Sprinkle with cheeses; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set but the yolks are still runny, about 7-9 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
