Servings: persons

4 ounces spaghetti (I prefer thin, but regular is fine)
Kosher salt, to taste
1 large organic egg
Olive oil, for frying egg
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons ketchup^
1 pinch sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

1
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, season with salt, and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions.
2
Meanwhile, fry egg in some olive oil, sunny-side up, until crispy at the edges. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
3
When pasta is done, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, drain, and set spaghetti aside for later.
4
In the now empty pot, prepare the sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon butter and saute onion and bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes, until just starting to caramelize.
5
Add the remaining tablespoon butter, then stir in the ketchup and sugar. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until ketchup has cooked down a bit. Splash in milk, along with the cooked and drained spaghetti. Toss with the sauce and fry pasta for a minute or so, adding some of the reserved cooking water to thin out as needed.
6
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the Parmesan and parsley. Plate spaghetti, then top with the fried egg.
7
^If you've got tomato paste lying around, then substitute 1 of the tablespoons ketchup with tomato paste for a deeper, richer tomato flavor.
