October 11 Meal Plan Egg & Pasta

In honor of Egg Month, Pasta Month and Vegetarian Month we are making
Spaghetti with Caramelized Onions and Fried Eggs.
A simple recipe of caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper, fried eggs with a runny yolk tossed with pasta and broccoli.
I added some fresh basil

"The Good Egg More Than 200 Fresh Approaches from Breakfast to Dessert".

The recipe turned out delicious. My daughter asked for seconds. I added extra garlic, red pepper, and fresh basil.
All agreed to add this to Our House Cookbook.
