Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces DeLallo Egg Pappardelle
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp (more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 1/2 cup reserved cooking water
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Roast broccoli for 20-25 minutes until tender. Smash each piece with a spoon to create flat, crispy bites. Return to oven for another 5-10 minutes until crisp.
  3. Prepare soft-boiled eggs: Cook for 6 minutes for a runny yolk, then immediately transfer to ice water for 5 minutes. Peel gently.
  4. Cook pappardelle according to package directions until al dente.
  5. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  6. Whisk in hoisin sauce, honey, chili crisp, and white miso until mostly combined. Add reserved pasta water and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add cooked pappardelle to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently for 3-5 minutes until the pasta is well-coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Serve immediately, topping each bowl with the smashed crispy broccoli, a soft-boiled egg, and an extra drizzle of chili crisp if desired.

Notes

- For extra crispy broccoli, ensure it's well-drained and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
- Adjust the chili crisp to your preferred spice level; start with less and add more if needed.
- Don't skip the pasta water! Its starchiness helps the sauce emulsify and cling beautifully to the noodles.
- Serve immediately for the best texture contrast between the hot pasta and the cool egg yolk.
