Eggs and pasta are speed-run ingredients: they cook fast and carry bold flavors. If you also have cheese, garlic, chili, or frozen peas, you are minutes away from dinner.
Classic angles
Carbonara-style: egg yolk + cheese + pepper + hot pasta water = glossy sauce — keep heat low so eggs do not scramble.
Aglio olio + egg: fry breadcrumbs or garlic in oil, toss spaghetti, top with a fried egg.
