How to:

Boil the perfect egg

Place room temperature eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water, covering the eggs by two centimetres. On a medium to high heat bring to a boil. Turn the heat down. Proceed as follows:

  • For soft-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to stand in hot water for one to two minutes.
  • For medium-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to stand in hot water for two to three minutes.
  • For hard-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to boil for seven minutes. Remove and place in bowl of ice water to prevent the yolk discolouring.

Recipe by: Phillippa Cheifitz
Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
8 organic eggs
100 g broken organic spaghetti, cooked and drained
4 T grated organic Italian Parmesan, plus extra for sprinkling
2 T organic olive oil
1 small organic onion, finely chopped
1 whole clove garlic, peeled
8 organic green baby marrows (about 350 g), shredded
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking instructions:

Beat the eggs and mix with the pasta and Parmesan. Set aside.

 

Heat the oil in a frying pan, about 20 cm in diameter. Add the onion and garlic, and gently cook until softened, but still pale in colour. For subtlety of flavour, discard the garlic clove. Add the shredded marrow to the pan and gently cook until softened. Add the pasta mixture and cook over a very low heat for 15 minutes, or until the underside of the frittata is golden and firm and the centre not quite set.

Slide under a heated grill for 5 minutes, or until set and pale golden, then season.

Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with Parmesan.

TASTE’s take:

This meal off ers a great way of using leftover pasta. We used spaghetti, but, really, any shape or size will do. The pasta adds substance, making it a suitable main course served with a salad and good bread on the side.

Hannah says: there's nothing like homemade pasta (machines)

Last night I met up with one of my oldest friends for dinner at Il Leone in Green Point. Fresh out of my yoga class I couldn’t think of anything better than a big bowl of gorgeous pasta. After all balance is everything.
