Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Carbonara is made with guanciale (cured pork), eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, spaghetti pasta, and lots of black pepper. Italians don't add extra ingredients like cream, milk, garlic, or onions. Try this recipe if you want to make an authentic, creamy carbonara that comes straight from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito!

Another simple, quick, and tasty tofu recipe taught to me by my wife, who is Korean. The dipping sauce described is quite spicy, so temper the ingredients to your taste. Eat with chopsticks.

Ingredient

Shrimp Egg Foo Young

This egg foo young recipe includes a delicious sauce to put on top of the patties. This is a very special recipe acquired when I worked at a Chinese restaurant to pay for my red 1966 VW bug when in high school! The recipe card is tattered and spotted now, but the dish is the best egg foo young I have ever had. To serve, place egg patty over steamed rice and put the sauce on top.

Ingredient

Egg Curry

This is a quick solution to a curry when there is no meat or fish. Best eaten hot over white rice. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Ingredient

Chef John's Baked Eggs

If you enjoy huevos rancheros, you will love Chef John's baked eggs recipe. The spicy sauce mingles with just barely set eggs in a similar way, and when you start scooping this up with toasted chunks of bread, it gets borderline magical.

Ingredient

Shakshuka

Shakshuka (or shakshouka) is a traditional Tunisian dish featuring poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, bell pepper, and garlic. It's usually eaten for breakfast, but I think it makes a tasty lunch or dinner, served with lots of bread to mop up the sauce.

Ingredient

Greek Cowboy Hash and Eggs

This recipe features one of my all-time favorite vegetables: the sweet potato. The tanginess of the feta (the Greek part) is a strange but tasty complement to the smoky, spicy chipotle chili powder (the cowboy part). This meal is great for brunch and simple to scale down for a quick dinner when you're cooking for yourself.
