Eggs Benedict Spaghetti

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions but before draining the pasta scoop out a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid.

Step 2

While it cooks, put on a pot of water to boil  and then reduce it to a subtle simmer (this will be for poaching the egg later). Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in spots. Remove from heat. Set aside.

Step 3

After draining the pasta, poach the egg in the simmering water. Here’s a great method for poaching eggs.

Step 4

Toss the hot spaghetti with the hollandaise sauce and the bacon. Add a dribble of the cooking liquid. Add enough to make the sauce moist and silky. Put the spaghetti on a plate and top with the poached egg.
