Lemon Garlic Linguine with Fried Egg
and green salad with citrus
In this rustic but beautiful Italian pasta dish a few key ingredients are allowed to shine. Not only is the pasta coated with a flavorful combination of olive oil, parsley, lemon, and toasted breadcrumbs but the creamy yolk from fried eggs adds extra richness.
Smarts: Because the flavors are so simple and clean in this recipe, be sure to season to taste with salt or add some more lemon before serving.

Make
- Bring a large stock pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and boil according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup / 59mL pasta water (amount for 4 servings; adjust if customizing).
- While pasta cooks, heat a large nonstick pan with butter over medium heat. When butter melts add panko with a pinch of salt. Saute, stirring constantly, until breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute more. Set aside and return pan to heat.
- Add cooking oil to heated pan. Crack eggs into the heated oil. Fry for ~3 minutes on one side for sunny-side up or flip and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes for over-easy (cook for a minute more to cook the yolks all the way through).
- Drain pasta (remember to reserve pasta water).
- Toss pasta with olive oil (portion for pasta), reserved pasta water, lemon zest, and parsley. Top with breadcrumbs and fried eggs.
- Toss oranges, salad greens, and almonds with vinaigrette.
- Serve pasta with salad on the side. Enjoy!
