Ever had hard boiled eggs in spaghetti?

cant say that i have


i just put some salt & pepper on hard boiled eggs

I ate it every Sunday at my Italian friends houses growing up. It's very common and very good. Most used it as a way to stretch it because eggs are cheaper than meat so they would have meatballs and hard boiled eggs. Most had many children and multiple generations living in the house which means many mouths to feed.

Most old Italians would say they either do it or know people that do. It's not uncommon at all. Try it.

I absolutely love eggs in red gravy. My MIL makes this every holiday and it is awesome.

Who the frick puts eggs in gumbo, potato salad yes, but not eggs. Gross.

It's the same damn principle as putting eggs in a red sauce...which you admittedly love. Boiled eggs in a good chick and sausage gumbo are awesome. Expand you mind.

Yes, I'm Italian.

In the house I grew up in, my neighbor was Italian and did this. I remember liking it.

Probably the same nasty people that put eggs in gumbo.

Guilty. That's some good shite.

My old great aunt used to make this for us all the time, and those who haven't had it can hate all they want, but eggs are great in a red gravy.

Instead of hard boiling them, just crack them into the gravy and hard poach them. Let them cook before you stir it, or you'll have red gravy omelette.
