Ingredients
spaghetti
1 lb (cooked al dente)
hot Italian sausage links
4 (cut into ½ inch pieces)
dry red wine
1/4 cup (none)
Ragú® Pasta Sauce
1 (12 ounce) jar (none)
Italian style breadcrumbs
1/3 cup (toasted)
fresh parsley
1 tablespoon (minced)
garlic cloves
2 (minced)
butter
1 tablespoon (melted)
eggs
4 (cooked over easy)
Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the sausage. Cut each sausage link into ½-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Deglaze the skillet with the dry red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to cook down for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly, then stir in the Ragú® Pasta Sauce. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
In a separate small frying pan, toast the breadcrumbs over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat and combine with minced garlic and parsley, mixing well. Set aside.
5
In another frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Gently crack the eggs into the pan, cooking them to over-easy, or to your preferred doneness.
6
To serve, combine the drained spaghetti with the Ragu® Sauce mixture in the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. Plate the spaghetti on serving dishes and generously sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs. Top each plate with a cooked egg, allowing the yolk to run over the pasta. Enjoy your hearty Italian feast!
