From the fridge

  • ground chicken
  • pasta sauce
  • pasta
  • eggs

Pantry staples

  • salt & pepper
  • cooking oil

Let's cook

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add about 2 oz (a generous handful) of pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add about 4 oz of ground chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5–6 minutes until fully browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
  4. Pour in roughly 1/3 cup of pasta sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to combine and reduce heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. In a separate small pan, heat a tiny drizzle of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack 1 egg into the pan and fry to your preferred doneness — a runny yolk works especially well as a sauce here. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Plate the drained pasta, spoon the saucy chicken generously over the top, then lay the fried egg on top.
  7. Slice into the egg yolk just before eating to let it run down and enrich the sauce. Serve immediately.
