Noodles and Eggs Recipe
Macaroni and Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cups elbow macaroni
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- teaspoon paprika (Optional)
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 1: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Step 2: Cook the elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through but firm to the bite.
Step 3: Drain the macaroni and set aside.
Step 4: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5: Layer the cooked macaroni over the butter in the skillet, but do not stir.
Step 6: Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7: Pour the beaten eggs over the macaroni. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for about 2 minutes, or until they begin to set.
Step 8: Stir the eggs and macaroni together, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the eggs are nearly set.
Step 9: Cover the skillet, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
Cook's Notes:
- If using leftover pasta, you can add the noodles cold to the skillet.
- If you prefer to add fresh onion, garlic, or vegetables, cook them in the butter before adding the pasta to the skillet.
- Dried herbs or spices can be added along with salt and pepper for extra flavor.

I prepared this dish myself when I was a child in Brooklyn, NY - and yes, I used ketchup! I absolutely enjoyed it. It's like a unique twist on Matzoh Brie, but with noodles instead of matzoh!
