Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add sliced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4

In a separate pot, bring water to a simmer. Crack the eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins.

5

Carefully slide the eggs one by one into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

6

Using a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs from the water and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess water.

7

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Toss everything together to combine.

8

Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste.

9

Divide the pasta onto serving plates. Place a poached egg on top of each serving.

10

Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
