Eggs Benedict Spaghetti

I'm one of those people who could eat breakfast at anytime of the day. One one my favorite breakfasts is Eggs Benedict, so I came up with this dish as an excuse to have it anytime for dinner! It is like the bastard child of Eggs Benedict and Spaghetti Carbonara. This recipe has all of the elements of the breakfast classic and tastes just like it.

I saved this and posted it to my sisters fb wall. My sister is a great cook/chef who has studied at the American Culinary Institute and abroad, here is what she had to say " "This looks almost like deconstructed carbonara sauce! Looks delish! definitely not low fat!!" and in a 2nd reply "I keep looking at this.... i have already gained 20 lbs!!! everytime I think of it I gain 5.... there is something about the egg on top that makes me want to make this.."

For some reason she can't wrap her mind around Chicago 5way spaghetti with chilli, perhaps it's all her Italian influences... LOL

Keep up the great work, and thank you for helping me derail my sisters diet ! ! !

You sister's right, this is totally a riff on carbonara. And yes it packs a big calorie punch - a lot of butter goes into it (besides the ham and eggs...) It's not an every day meal, but it's a great treat-yourself meal.
