I'm a super carb addict, and this really helped my addiction, spaghetti for breakfast, yay! Didn't change a thing, but did use more than 6 mushrooms (we love shrooms) and added some mozzarella to the Parmesan! Carb addict's heaven!

Wonderful. I made this exactly as written except I skipped the butter. We had it for supper as a tryout for Christmas brunch. It's a keeper made with whole wheat capellini and a little salt and pepper added to the beaten eggs before cooking. This carbaholic thinks the idea of pasta for breakfast is inspired.

We have stayed at the Little Tree B&B in Taos. What a fabulous place. Never tried this pasta dish but should have. I am a bonafide carb addict so this was a no brainer for me. I knew I was going to like and I was right. Served it for supper, though. Kids gave me a strange look with they saw it, but like little troopers, they gave it a try and loved it. I added some shredded MJ cheese to the Parmesan. Thanks Lorac, this is a winner.
