Can You Have Spaghetti for Breakfast?

When you think of breakfast, chances are that spaghetti isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you're deciding how you want to start your day. Well, for our weekly What's Cookin'? radio segment, Patty Millay has whipped up a Breakfast Spaghetti that features- you guessed it- bacon, sausage and eggs! If you're looking to start your day with some hearty carbs, here's how to make it.

From Patty:

Every now and then I find a recipe that just looks like it would be fun to make and fun to eat! This was a very unusual recipe but with ingredients that I love so why not give it a twirl!

BREAKFAST SPAGHETTI

2 tbsp butter

1/2- 1 lb spaghetti pasta (cooked, drained and rinsed)
8 large eggs beaten smooth

1 pound sausage (browned, drained, crumbled)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste

1/2 lb bacon cooked, drained and crumbled

sliced scallions (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Add the butter to a large skillet and heat it over medium heat until melted. Turn the skillet gently until the butter's completely coated the bottom.

Spread the cooked pasta out in the skillet, and the pour the beaten eggs evenly out over top of the pasta.

Add the sausage, spreading it out over the pasta as well.

Top with the cheese and give everything a good stir to evenly combine it all.

Continue cooking, stirring as needed, just until the eggs are cooked.

Salt & pepper the breakfast pasta, then top it with crumbled bacon and scallions. Tong onto plates and serve the dish warm.

Pro tip from Patty: This is not recommended as a make ahead dish, however; you can prep your pasta and meats in advance and store them in the refrigerator in separate airtight containers.
