Spaghetti a Caballo

Today's recipe is a one of my favorites: Spaghetti a caballo (spaghetti with a fried egg on top). Just talking about it my mouth gets watery and my mom's recipe is both easy to make and as always, exquisite. It is told that Marco Polo brought spaghetti from the Far East to Europe in the thirteenth century, however pasta had existed in Europe already for centuries. The originators, however, seen to had been the Chinese who had been making it since 3000 B.C. This particular recipe adds the egg on top and if you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're missing. It usually serves 3-4 people.


Ingredients: 
  • 1 package of spaghetti
  • 1 cup of Golby and Monterry Jack cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • Ragu spaghetti sauce
