Instructions
Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel and coarsely chop the eggs.
Cook the Spaghetti
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
Sauté the Onions and Chilies
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and green chilies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine and Create the Sauce
- Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs to the skillet with the onions and chilies. Gently stir to combine. Stir in the heavy cream and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Heat gently for 2 minutes, making sure the sauce is well combined, but do not boil. The heat will set the creaminess and prevent separation.
Serve
- Toss the cooked spaghetti with the creamy egg sauce. Add a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Serve immediately and garnish as desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Creamy Egg Spaghetti:
- Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will become rubbery. Aim for a firm yolk for best results.
- Use good quality cream and milk: The richness of the cream and milk will significantly impact the flavor of the sauce.
- Adjust the chili to your spice preference: Start with less chili and add more to taste if you prefer a spicier dish.
- Garnish creatively: Fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil can elevate the presentation and flavor.
