I accidently made something delicious. It wasn't fancy at all. I took whatever left overs i had laying around and made something. LMAO I'm a professional cook so what I have laying around the house a bit different than the average person.
But the ingredients I used are accesible to everyone. I love this recipe and will be adding it to my recipe book.
It requires one pan. Everything cooks in the same pan.
Ingredients: White cap mushrooms. Two eggs. Penne Pasta. Salt. Pepper. Cumin. Olive Oil.
Directions: Heat pan. fill pan half way with hot warmer. Season water with salt until it tastes like the ocean. Cover water and bring to boil.
While water is boiling prepare your mushrooms. Rinse, chop, or trim them to your liking. Or buy them prepared already.
Once water is producing steam and boiling drop the Penne in the water. Let it cook uncovered for about ten minutes. Agitate it so it doesn't stick to the pan. Once it looks cooked but is still firm add a little more water, olive oil, and mushrooms. Then cook the pasta for about five minutes covered.
Once the pasta is tender and the mushrooms are semi soft they're done. At this point everything is cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste. Be easy with the salt because the pasta is already seasoned. The mushrooms are not.
I highly suggest taking the pan off the heat source because the key to this dish is texture. If you over or under cook an ingredient you're fukked.
Now we're going to poach an egg in the pasta. Turn your heating source to a semi low setting. Remember everything is cooked already. We just want to keep the pasta and mushrooms hot. You want a enough water in your pan to create steam but not enough to cover the pasta. The steam will cook the egg, not the water. We're not cooking an egg in water. We're using the steam from the water to cook an egg. We want steam not water.
This takes patience and skill. Crack each egg and add them at the same time. Very slowly. You want to make sure the white of the egg enters the pan before the yolk. You also do not want the white of the egg to touch the pan directly. It should rest on top of the Penne. iF it touches the pan you fukked up.
Once both eggs are added make sure there's a little steam in your pan and cover it. Let it sit for about five minutes and check on it. The egg will look snotty when it's done. The yolk should have a white membrane over it. That's when it's done. When it's done you should have what looks like this:
The yolk should not be broken. And should have white over it. That's a perfectly poached egg. When you break the yolk it should be warm and delicious. The yolk is your pasta sauce.
I assure you anybody can make this. It's hella cheap to make and doesn't take long to make. It's healthy and simple. Also this will impress cooks and non cooks a like. Fellas you want to stunt on your chick? make her this shyt. The yolk from the egg is the pasta sauce. It's fancy as fukk, and not fancy at all.
This dish has great texture, color, it's fukking delicious, cheap, and elegant.
I'd serve with toasted baguette and call it a day. This is perfect. You could charge for that meal no problem.
Low key this is high end cooking. I could charge a lot for that plate.
