Pasta For Breakfast Is a Wonderful Thing

We think nothing of carbo-loading on waffles, pancakes, and doughnuts at breakfast and brunch, so why not pasta? It might seem like an unlikely choice, but noodles like pho and ramen are part of the morning meal around the globe. Here are some popular pasta for breakfast options from our site. Sounds like the perfect excuse to throw a brunch bash, right?

1) Chef John’s Carbonara

Bacon and eggs tossed with spaghetti? This beloved pasta dish from Italy totally hits the morning yum button by combining breakfast staples with noodles and then adding shredded cheese to complete the crazy delicious picture. Pro tip: A friend swears by her wok as the perfect vessel for whipping this dish into a creamy/dreamy delight.

2) Cheesy Spinach Ramen Frittata

This baked egg creation is the kind of culinary chameleon that works for breakfast or dinner, bringing heaps of green goodness to the mix. Some reviewers who had made the dish suggested turning up the flavor in the salty direction by adding bits of crispy bacon. Pro tip: If you crave crunch, skip cooking the ramen noodles before adding them to the frittata.

3) Cheddar Ramen Noodle Wedge with Fried Eggs

This one’s not for calorie counters, but it sure satisfies by treating ramen noodles a little bit like hash browns. That means they’re fried in bacon drippings until golden and topped with shredded cheese. Pro tip: Please pass the Sriracha, that fiery pepper sauce works to brighten up the rich quality of this dish.

4) Hot Breakfast Couscous

This recipe was inspired by a kayak trip, which included quickie breakfast cooked by the campfire. It’s ready to dish up in just 10 minutes. Pro tip: Look for larger version of these teeny grains of semolina pasta, sometimes referred to as Israeli couscous.
