Ingredients
Directions
- Bring large pot of water to a boil, add spaghetti and cook per package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add garlic and chili flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring continually. Add zucchini noodles, salt and pepper and cook, tossing gently, for 1 to 2 minutes or until zucchini has softened. Stir tomatoes, spinach, lemon zest and juice gently into zucchini mixture until well combined. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are warmed through.
- When pasta is done, drain and add to skillet mixture. Remove from heat.
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of water in a large saucepan to boiling. Adjust heat to keep liquid simmering gently.
- Break eggs, 1 at a time, into a cup. Holding dish close to surface, slip egg into water.
- Cook eggs until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken, but are not hard, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not stir. Lift eggs from water with slotted spoon. Drain in spoon or on paper towels. Trim any rough edges if desired.
- Divide zucchini and pasta mixture among four dinner plates or bowls, top each with 1 poached egg and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a spiralizer or spiral vegetable slicer on a setting such as curl to create a shape that resembles long, thin noodles. Blot zucchini noodles with a paper towel if moist and watery before proceeding with recipe.
Cooking eggs to a soft poach allows the yolk to remain runny, which creates a creamy sauce when cut into over the zucchini noodles. Always use very fresh eggs for poaching. They hold their shape better and form fewer wispy threads in the water.
