Fried Egg, Chilli and Tomato Spaghetti is simple fare but equally as delightful.
By Martyna Candrick
Mid-week dinners do not have to be complicated, but they must be tasty. And sometimes you just have to make do with whatever leftovers you may find at the back of your fridge. This meal is no exception, but it looks and tastes great. Stove to table in just 10 minutes.
I actually prefer the lightness of spaghettini (angel hair spaghetti) in this dish, but if you like your pasta slightly thicker, feel free to use traditional spaghetti.

I never would have thought to put fried egg in spaghetti but am really keen to try it. I bet it would be good with spinach in there too!
