Testing the viral TikTok breakfast pasta recipe that I've seen all over the internet! According to the TikTok community, this 4 ingredient pasta dish is quick to whip up in a small pot and has a silky smooth sauce, topped with crunchy "everything bagel" seasoning. Read the post to find out how it turned out for me and if I think it lives up to the hype!
Fill a small pot of water with salted water and bring to a boil.
Kosher salt
Add pasta and cook for 9 minutes, stirring ocassionally. Ideally, you want the pasta cooked a little bit pasta al dente.
1 cup dry short pasta
Remove the pot from heat. Reserve 1 tablespoon pasta water, then drain the rest of the water from the pot.
Add butter to the pot, then add the drained pasta back to the pot and stir to coat.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Crack your egg directly onto the pasta and stir quickly to coat the pasta with the egg and create a glossy sauce that should cling to the pasta. If needed, turn the heat back on low to cook the egg completely.
1 large egg
Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the Everything Bagel spice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
