Fried egg over pasta!! Oooh!!! If you are unsure of the sound of this try it before you shy away. You may surprise yourself. This is a very simple dish to prepare yet presents as a gourmet dish! This was actually the first time I had ever fried an egg…hard to believe, I know! You are going for a nice, soft yolk so you can have that awesome runny factor when your fork hits the egg.
