Breadcrumbs and pasta (make at the same time)

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil

In a medium pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil or melt the butter

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and saute for only 15-30 seconds, so that it doesn’t burn

Add the panko and toss in olive oil and garlic

Let the panko get toasty, stirring every few minutes

Add the lemon zest and herbs once the breadcrumbs are light brown and then turn off the heat

The water should be boiling by now, so add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the directions on the package

Transfer the breadcrumbs to a small bowl 

Once the pasta is done, drain and reserve some of the pasta cooking water.  

Return the pasta to the pan and toss with parm and garlic breadcrumbs

 Fried Eggs

Wipe out the breadcrumb pan with a paper towel

Pour a generous amount of olive oil into the pan and heat until oil is just shimmering

Gently crack two eggs into the pan making sure they don’t touch

These eggs will crack and splatter so stand back

Cook until the edges get lacey and then carefully flip over

Cook on the second side until egg is set to your preference 

Assembly: Divide pasta into bowls and top each one with a fried egg.  Enjoy while hot!
