It’s been 12 long days since I last updated this blog and to me it felt more like 12 months. A lot of things happened the past two weeks, both good things and bad things. Some got me excited, some got me upset: I got pregnant, we moved into our new home, we found out I had a blighted ovum/anembryonic pregnancy, and I had a miscarriage. It’s been stressful and sad but I’ve prayed and I’ve come to accept it. I know there’s a good reason why everything had to happen.
It’s been a week since I got admitted to the hospital and I’m doing okay now. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t wait to start cooking again. We’ve been eating take out food mostly the past two weeks and I really missed cooking.
my favorite part of our house: the (peach) kitchen
Besides, I felt that my new kitchen was waiting for me and calling out my name ever since we first moved in.
It also felt so right yesterday morning to make spaghetti for breakfast, specially one that includes delicious breakfast staples like bacon and eggs.
This breakfast spaghetti is very easy to prepare. It’s a simple aglio olio spaghetti with a little bacon fat , some crumbled bacon pieces, parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and a sunny side up egg resting on top just like the sun calling you out on a lazy weekday morning.
Your Thursday morning needs this.
- 250g Spaghetti, cooked according to package directions
- 200g bacon, cut into pieces
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- grated parmesan cheese
- salt to taste
- 3 sunny side up eggs
- Fry bacon in a non-stick skillet until golden brown. No need to add oil as the bacon will release some fat and fry in its own fat. Remove from pan and set aside.
- On the same pan, add olive oil in bacon drippings and sauté garlic until brown on the edges and oil becomes fragrant with the smell of garlic.
- Turn heat to low and add cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle some salt, 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, and mix well.
- Add cooked bacon and spinach leaves. Mix well and cook until spinach is wilted.
- Divide into serving plates and top with sunny side-up egg and more parmesan cheese
- Serve warm and eat while watching the sunrise.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear about your miscarriage! That must be hard to deal with, and I so feel for you. I’m happy about your new house, but sad about your loss. You’ll be in my thoughts.
Thank you so much John!
That’s very creative. I might copy your recipe and do this one day.

So sorry to hear about the miscarriage. Happy to hear you are okay now. I’m not really into cooking but the husband is! I’m bookmarking this one so he could see! I’m sure I’d wake up one of these days with a spaghetti for breakfast. Harhar!
It looks delish, oh well, you could never go wrong with bacons. 🙂
I agree, you can never go wrong with bacon. Thanks Celerhina!
Our recipe is quite similar but I’m using basil instead of spinach. I feel you about the miscarriage because I experienced that too.
Oh, it’s hard pala ano?
I think this is great. My daughter loves egg, and it seems easy to do. Thank you.
It is very easy to do. I’m sure you’ll like it.
I like spaghetti and adding bacon just makes it even better.

Awww it’s sad to learn that you had a miscarriage. How have you coped up with it? Your passion in cooking and providing happiness to your family must have helped.

Peachy, I was just thinking that with a little bit of cream and some mushrooms, this could be sort of like a deconstructed carbonara, with the egg on top instead of mixed in hehe. 🙂

The kitchen is really my number one weakness as I have no talent in there whatsoever. I hope that changes soon, once we get our own place. Anyway, thanks for the recipe – it seems my daughter is enjoying pastas and noodles – this would be a great addition to her usual meals! Hehe.

I wish I had a kitchen like yours, perhaps when we manage to buy our own house I’ll save up for one. Thanks for the recipe, this is something I’d like to try soon.
I do wish you get a more beautiful kitchen someday.
Aww.. I agree that things happen for a reason.
Anyway, this spaghetti looks yummy! and really easy to cook!! Wow, i want to give it a try!! =)
I’m sure you’ll like this Jen.
I want to try this one. BTW, what’s the difference between virgin oil and extra virgin oil? I only have the first one but will buy if I have to. Thanks.
Extra virgin means it’s of a higher quality olive oil.You can use virgin olive oil for this recipe. Please let me know if you like it.
I love pasta too and I usually eat cold spaghetti for breakfast. This one is intriguing with spinach. I usually pair pasta with basil
If you love pasta, I’m sure you’ll like this.
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I know how sad you must feel coz I’ve experienced it twice. But it’s good to know that you’re back to cooking again, this time in your new kitchen. That’s exciting. 🙂
