Ingredients

• 8 oz elbow pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, fresh spinach, diced ham, cooked sausage, or other omelette ingredients of your choice

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
3. Combine Pasta and Salsa: In the same skillet, add the cooked pasta and salsa. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes. If using optional add-ins like bell peppers, spinach, ham, or sausage, add them at this stage and cook until they are heated through and the vegetables are tender.
4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
5. Serve: Divide the pasta among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
6. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your Fiesta de Pasta con Huevos!
