And if you&#8217;re like Scott, who enjoys runny eggs, that will help coat and &#8220;sauce&#8221; up the pasta.<\/p>\n<p>I listed eggs with no amount because that&#8217;s up to you. \u00a0I ate mine with one egg while Scott had his with two eggs. \u00a0Do what you like and it&#8217;ll work out.<\/p>\n<p>This dish, uses few ingredients and all of them are budget friendly. \u00a0You certainly don&#8217;t have to use wine but can use stock of your choice or a small can of diced tomatoes would work just as well.<\/p>\n<p>Most grocery stores now carry chopped frozen greens, if you can&#8217;t find any fresh. \u00a0I love frozen chopped greens! While I do use fresh when I can, having the frozen on hand is a must for me now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/pasta_eggs3.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14086\" title=\"Spaghetti and Eggs\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/pasta_eggs3-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/pasta_eggs3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/pasta_eggs3.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Scott loved this dish, which was good because I created it specifically with him in mind! \u00a0It was part of the &#8220;Welcome Home&#8221; week I planned out for him.<\/p>\n<p>Now I have a dish in my recipe box that is quick to put together and very filling!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have fun guys, and remember, always play with your food!
