Mm-mmm. Enjoy one of my favorite go-to recipes (spaghetti) and a new fav by friend Scott Mitchell (zucchini cakes).
Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs & Eggs
3 or 4 pounds meatballs (your own recipe or frozen)
15 large eggs
5 large cans Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce (2 Cheese & Garlic, 2 Mushroom, 1 Traditional)
Seasoning (garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, Italian blend)
2 medium white onions, diced
2 cups each Pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheese
In giant pot, saute onions in olive or canola oil until clear. Add in Hunt's sauce [it often goes on sale for $1 per can, and is just as good as homemade!], meatballs, and seasonings to taste. Add cheeses and about two cups of water. Stir well. Simmer on medium-low covered for an hour.
Turn heat to medium after stirring well and tasting. Adjust seasoning if needed. When sauce begins to bubble, break and drop eggs into sauce. DO NOT STIR. Return cover to pot and let simmer for an hour. When yolks have hardened, stir gently just to mix. Return temperature to medium-low and continue cooking slowly for three or four hours.

Scott's Zucchini Cakes

1 large egg
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp nutmeg
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs

Before beginning, grate zucchini onto a large dish towel, wrap tightly, and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Mix all ingredients except bread crumbs and Parmesan together in a large bowl. Add bread crumbs and Parmesan - mix well. Heat oil in pan. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Enjoy!
Add Ins - finely grate an onion, crumbled bacon, whatever.

Mmmmm. Will try both recipes when it gets cooler!
Hmmm...I've never heard of an egg in sauce. Very different. I'm definitely trying the zucchini cakes, because I have a whole bunch of zucchini's.
Thanks for the recipes.

Hey, Fringe. The eggs are great in gumbos and spaghetti sauces; they pick up the flavoring nicely. Try it!
Thanks for visiting. :)
Hope you enjoy, Marisa!
I've never had eggs in a sauce like that either!
I really want to try those zucchini cakes - mmmmmmmmmm
Oh brother...my mouth is watering! The egg thing sounds a little odd, but I'd be willing to try it! I have never done eggs in sauce. The zucchini sounds great.
Oh my gosh, the zucchini cakes look amazing! :) I'll have to try them out!
Angie, yum these look great, as does everything from your kitchen! But you make it look so easy, and you know I am quite challenged in the kitchen... I do like eggs in sauce and used to eat it at St. Joe altars with all that great food! I did stumble upon a good pasta salad recipe, with Greek type ingredients like feta, mild peppers, olives... Was so good I made it two nights in a row then was sick of it! I do make a terrific peanut butter and grape jam and peanuts sandwich (and special bread) and eat one every day... Not tired of it yet ;) Happy Friday love!
Nothing as exciting as what you've been up to. Hot dogs. Mac and cheese. Yep, pretty much nothing as good as what you've made here.
Those zucchini cakes look yummy! I loooove zucchini, but hub doesn't so think this could disguise the little zzzz's.
