I modified this quite a bit. I used a pasta called Fusillini which has zucchini and spinach in it. I had to use more olive oil and also added butter together because if not it would have been much more dry. I chopped the onion finely and also added more grated cheese and parsley for garnish. While I drained the pasta I added the scrambled egg in the pot that I used for the pasta with the flame off and it cooked very nice and light. Immediately after that I added the pasta and remaining ingredients. lMuch better after that.
We LOVED this. I guesstimated on the garlic as I buy it pre-minced in large jars. Added a few extra mushrooms--next time a whole 8oz package would definitely be good. I was worried about the egg fully cooking, but it did (only added one). This will definitely go into our rotation!
Delicious! Great for an easy, beginner's recipe. I would add some olive oil at the very end to make it a little less dry :)
Yum! I added 1/2 lemon juice, black pepper and parsley... Sooo good
Even my picky guys liked it. I thought maybe I should have used a little more garlic though.
My husband and I loved this recipe. The only addition we made was to add marinated artichokes, which we love. We also squeezed a couple of wedges of fresh lemon at the end which brightened the flavor. It would be excellent with chicken or shrimp, but is delicious as a meat-free meal.
Pretty good base recipe. I added a pound of chicken breast and upped the cheese to a!/2 cup as well as lumped in a bunch more garlic. I also used mostaciolli noodles instead of spaghetti. Lastly added fresh ground pepper to the finished dish which was quite good as it adds a nice spicy contrast to the umami flavors of the mushrooms and cheese. I added the egg in with the chicken and onion mushroom mixture instead of the noodles because I left them in the colander in the sink until they were cool. This was a mistake it made the mixture gloopy but it was still quite tasty. If I make again I think I would make without chicken as it seems more of a distraction from the rest of the dish than a good addition.
I changed this up quite a bit, thanks to another reviewer. I used a whole small onion, turning it golden by cooking in butter and then setting aside. I used 8 oz. of mushrooms and sauteed, then turned the heat down and added the garlic. The vegetables need a LOT of seasoning/salt and pepper. When they were done cooking, I added in 1/2 c. of olive oil and heated before adding to the pasta.
I cooked the pasta per box directions, and before draining, I reserved one cup of the pasta cooking liquid. After draining, I put the pasta back in the pot and stirred in the eggs. I added the pasta water back in (makes the pasta creamier), and then added in the hot onions/mushroom/garlic and parmesan cheese.
This was simple and good, a quick meal for the family, not so special or fancy that I would serve for company. Thank you for sharing.
Loved it only thing I would adjust is I sautéed it with a little butter as well ...(mushrooms) very easily and delicious.
