re: Ever had hard boiled eggs in spaghetti?

Both. As stated, crack in and don't stir until set.

Boil the eggs then put them in the gravy at the end for a few minutes. Don't want to over cook the eggs since they are cooked already. Just let them soak up some of the gravy.

Other things to put in red gravy are chuck ribs on the bone (browned first), Pig feet, but not the pickled ones, get them fresh. Pork roast stuffed with garlic, browned, and put in to cook with the gravy. Italian sausage.

No, but it sounds pretty good.

sounds like some shite a wonder bread wop would try to do.

How do eggs soak up gravy?



I'm no too sure about puttings eggs in gravy, but I'm pretty positive that it's more of an American Italian thing than an Italian thing. There are a lot of things we put in tomato sauces that they don't, not the least of which is meatballs, much less eggs. Might be good, but I have a hard time saying it's "Italian"

I don't think anyone said "it's from the old country." very little of what we consider Italian is this. But most Italian families I grew up with we're large, most mothers stayed home, fathers were plant workers, small business owners, blue collar hard working men who for the most part grew up during the depression and knew the value of a dollar. And as I stated earlier most had multigenerational homes. How many did you know growing up that had grandparents living in the same home? This is how many dishes get started. The need to feed a large family for a small amount of money.

Yorkshire pudding is an example. Using beef fat to cook eggs, flour and water which in the end has a beef flavor and is much cheaper than the roast beef the drippings came from. To stretch the meal.
