Spaghetti with Onions and Eggs

Here is a BUDGET meal I made not long ago.  We really liked it and I plan to make it again soon.

Spaghetti with Onions and Eggs

1/4 lb spaghetti, broken into smallish pieces
1 egg
1 med. onion
2 T grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c milk

Saute very thinly sliced onions until just before they brown, just a few crispy edges is good.  I use olive oil, but any good vegetable oil or butter will work.

Prepare broken spaghetti as box directs.

When pasta is done, drain and immediately break 1 egg into it.  Stirring quickly to coat the spaghetti.  The heat of the pasta and the pan cooks the egg.  Do not do this over heat!

Add the cheese and stir again, making sure that all is well mixed.

Add milk and give a quick stir (milk will absorb and make a nice coating).

Put pasta on plate and lightly heap sauteed onions on top. 

A few grinds of black pepper and maybe a little more cheese sprinkled on and you are ready to enjoy.

This recipe doubles and triples well.

I served this with salad and garlic bread.  Steamed or sauteed vegetables work well also.
