Being extremely rich in carbohydrates, spaghetti is a wonderful source for deriving energy. This energy is required for fueling various metabolic processes. Besides supplying us with energy, spaghetti provides us with fiber, minerals and vitamins. You will also find trace minerals like magnesium, potassium and selenium in them. Greens, another important ingredient used in this recipe, deliver lots of phytonutrients like zeaxanthin, lutein and beta-carotene, minerals and vitamins. Greens are useful in solving age-related problems related to eyes, skin, etc. Parsley contains different types of vitamins like A, B 12, K and C and all of this is required to keep our bones strong, improve our immune system and nervous system.

Instructions

  • Take a large pot and bring little water to boil in it. Now cook pasta in it. Then set aside ¼ cup of water (used for preparing pasta). Now add half of the spinach and drain excess water. Now bring back greens and pasta into the pot.
  • While pasta is being cooked make the pesto. Add little pepper, salt, 1 tbsp water, lemon zest, 2 tbsp oil, garlic, walnuts, spinach and parsley into the blender. Pulse all the ingredients until they are chunky.
  • Now place a nonstick skillet over medium flame and heat little olive oil in it. Crack one egg at a time on the skillet and cook it until the egg whites become slightly hard and yolks have become soft. Now season the egg with little pepper and salt.
  • Follow the above process for the remaining eggs.
  • Now toss pesto with the cooked pasta and little water. Divide this mixture into 6 equal bowls. Top each bowl with a fried egg.
