#29 Salted Egg Pasta

For this recipe, it's not something I recently cook, just that I did not have much time to update. It's a simple pasta dish, yet savoury, but no to heavy like cream based pasta. It also happens to be my favourite dish at Eighteen Chefs. It's the salted egg pasta.

Ingredients:
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Spaghetti (or any other pasta your prefer)
1 stalk of curry leaves
100g of butter
3 salted egg yolks
Black pepper
1 bird's eye chilli, finely sliced
200g of peeled prawns

Instructions:

First and foremost, boil your salted eggs for about 15 to 20 minutes. And you will also need to boil your pasta in a separate pot (add a tea spoon of oil, and don't boil until it gets too soggy, just until you see all the pastas have soften up). The ingredients above is for 3 servings.

Once your egg is hardened, take out the yolk, and the white put that aside (eat with rice maybe?). Use the back of the spoon or whatever that is convenient to you, and mash them up until it becomes a very thick paste. Once that is done, heat up your pan, with 100g of butter. Add in your garlic, bird's eye chilli, and curry leaves. Ahhhh~I love this part, coz the aroma was just beyond words. When you can smell the aroma, tht is when you add in your egg yolk. Stir in the butter until well incorporated. once that is done, add in your prawns with a dash of black pepper (don't add salt as the salted egg is enough). Quickly add in your pasta, and mix well. Turn off the heat.

This recipe is very easy to make, and everything has to be quick. It will also disappear quickly from your plate coz it's so delicious! Happy trying peepz!
