This is my ultimate comfort food, thanks to years of enjoying it as a child. While the flavors aren’t sophisticated, they’re satisfying. This basic dish is virtually fail-proof and is a great way to use up leftover pasta as a side or can be a quick meal in a pinch. In my family, it was served with ketchup, but feel free to jazz it up with your favorite vegetables for a nutritious variation.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon paprika (Optional)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon cooked pasta over the butter, without stirring. Season pasta with paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Pour eggs over pasta and cook, without stirring, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes. Cook and stir eggs and pasta until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Cover skillet and remove from heat; allow to sit until eggs are set, 2 to 5 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
If using leftover pasta, noodles can be added cold to the skillet.
