It’s no surprise that I love this dish: It combines two of my favorite comfort foods, pasta and scrambled eggs. I know, the ingredients may seem like an odd pairing — but trust me, they work together perfectly, especially with the extra flavor boost from Parmesan and ricotta cheese.

Sarah’s Tip of the Day:
Get things started by boiling your pasta and throwing in chopped asparagus towards the end of the cooking time (remember to reserve some pasta water before draining— you’ll need it!). Next, make a quick, creamy sauce from melted butter, reserved pasta water, and Parmesan, before scrambling a few eggs in a separate nonstick skillet. Top with ricotta and the scrambled eggs before serving. Springified dinner has arrived!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients:
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound spaghetti
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup), plus more for serving
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta

Directions:
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 1 minute less than package instructions. Add asparagus and cook 1 minute. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in pot over medium-high and add 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta mixture and Parmesan and cook, stirring, 1 minute. If necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta.

In a small nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until just set. Divide pasta and eggs among four plates, top with ricotta, and season with salt and pepper.
