"This was a staple dish that my parents made for my brother and I growing up. It’s a quick pasta that just about everyone enjoys—who couldn’t love runny eggs and spaghetti with tomato sauce? The recipe consists solely of basic pantry staples and is a life-saver when you want to put something on the table quickly! Add chili flakes to the tomato sauce for some spice."
