re: Boiled Eggs in Spaghetti

My Nonna is Sicilian and we had boiled eggs in red gravy every Sunday when we were growing up. I continue the tradition and always add them.

Old Italian thing. Old timers do all the time.

I don't see how anyone would think this is gross? I've never had it, but egg white is pretty tasteless and the texture is soft enough when mixed it would almost disappear I'd suspect.

Eggs were always around 100 years ago because everyone had chickens, fresh meat was a different story before refrigeration. You either slaughtered something, had salted/ preserved meat, or didn't have meat.

Well damn. I need more Italians/sicilians in my life. IWEI.

Yes.

An old wop thing.

I've got gumbo simmering now, and a carton of dyed Easter eggs. I'm gonna give that combo a shot.

We didn't hide these ones. They've been in the fridge.

I don't have 34 hours to wait tonight, but I'll consider sous vide next time.
