This is easy to fix and soooooooooo tasty! Linguine can be used in place of spaghetti and the vegetables, like carrots, and peas can be incorporated into the filling. Now open a bottle of Valpolicella Classico and enjoy your pasta!
Recipe adapted from Essen und Trinken
- 200 g Spaghetti
- 3 tbsp Parmesan, grated
- 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 tbsp Whipping cream
- 1 Tomato, diced
- 50 g Prosciutto, diced
- 125 g Fresh Mozzarella cheese, diced
- 3 tbsp Chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Tomato sauce to serve
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta. Return to same pot and toss with grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
- Use a fork to stick into the spaghetti and bring up a heaping forkful. Turn and twist the pasta to form a nest. Repeat until you have 8 nests. Place them on a baking tray lined with paper. At the same time, preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
- Stir together the eggs and cream until just blended. Season to taste. Add in diced tomatoes, Prosciutto, Mozzarella, and chopped chives. Divide the mixture and spoon them in the center of each nest. Bake the spaghetti nests on second rack from the bottom of the oven for 15-18 minutes.

Great idea. The pasta does not dry out?
So pretty! I really like that idea. Great for using leftovers.

What a lovely, elegant idea. And calling them "nests" makes them 100% prettier in my opinion <3.
Such a pretty presentation and it sounds delicious!
These look absolutely brilliant! As someone else said, a great way to deal with the leftovers too!
It's now bookmarked, thanks for sharing :)

Spaghetti nests are such a fabulous & playful way to serve pasta....so pretty too :)
These are so cute! The filing sounds delicious, and the nests looks so great on the plate.
I love this, what a super idea! I can even see a little egg on top, like a carbonara when you break the yolk.

lovely nest looking awesome
Looks so beautiful and inviting dear...
This is incredibly amazing!
Very clever!
wow very innovative well done looks Fantastic!
yumm!!! Angie, x gloria
@Three-Cookies No..I guess the use of eggs and cream together with fresh cheese has kept them moist enough. Also baking them at the lower rack helps to maintain the moist.
Very cool! Truly like little birds nests.
Thanks for sharing...
Delicious and pretty too! I love this idea.
Gorgeous nests! I love how crispy the pasta gets....so delicious looking! And that gooey cheese in the middle has me swooning~
Sounds DELICIOUS! You have such unique recipes!
Simple and elegant. Perfect.

These are not only beautiful, but they provide portion control. I love that!
Even I don't have a bottle of Valpolicella Classico, I know I'm going to enjoy these nestssssss.
I can't believe I missed so many of your great recipes the past weeks. Making pasta nests are so lovely for presentation.
So cute! Great idea! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
What a fantastically fun idea!!! My daughter would have so much fun with this, and so would the rest of the family.
These are too cute. I might have to steal this idea for the next luncheon I do. Yumm
You never fail to impress me with your creativity Angie! This looks like a really good recipe for a party, for finger food :D
what a great idea! this looks amazing!! can't wait to get my hands on this. thanks for sharing!
this is so attractive and i trust whoever being served this would never forget these nests! great idea!
This would make such a fun dish for a dinner party! They look adorable!
WHOA!!
YUMS YUMS YUMS. I'm replicating this ;)
Oh my GOSH! I love this idea--how cute and tasty do those look? I'm DEFINITELY bookmarking it!
these nests are adorable! And I love that they're single serving size...otherwise I'd be in danger of eating the whole batch!
As must pasta as I have eaten in my life, I have never had spaghetti nests... look at what I have been missing all these years!!!
Tasty looking Angie! I'm going grain-free for a while and might have to sub some spaghetti squash instead but I can't wait to try this!
what beautiful nests! I think the next time I make spaghetti, I'll be doing it this way!
Wow, Angie, that looks beautiful!!
You do have the most creative ideas with your food Angie, these little nests look so tasty!
That looks incredibly tasty and crunchy! I have to try it!
this is just a lot of fun, angie. it's classic flavors prepared and presented in a unique fashion--bravo!
I'm wondering about the texture of these "nests" - are they all crispy?
I wish I were a bird - in the comfort of this "nest" :)
I will only use one word to describe the dish "DROOLING"
Oh, my!!!Love the adorable little yummy nests...I would certainly make this for company, it's literally "a conversation piece at the table" for sure!
Leave it to you my friend, Angie to always come up with such unique and beautiful things, that are so good, as well:D
how fun!! my girls would love this for their summer lunches!!
sweetlife
They look so elegant! And really little bird nests!
Such a delightfully elegant twist on everyday fare. I'd have to practice a little to get the nests quite right but I'm sure it would be worth it.
This looks really crunchy and delicious. Very attractively styled too!
I absolutely LOVE these Angie! Beautifully presented!
oh these are fun and creative
Yum, so good with cheese, eggs, and cream! It's got to be fun to eat as well!
@tigerfishNot quite, just slightly crisp at sides.
This is such a great idea! My daughter loves to fry up leftover spaghetti but this method creates a little individual servings, how perfect!!
How fun are these! Inventive and the perfect portion size. :)
This is like comfort food gone fancy :) Lovely presentation, Angie!
Thumbs up, Angie! This is so original and so kind of you to share!
The optimist in me feels as if this is a good way to get to eat spaghetti without eating too much ... but the realist says I would likely eat, oh, 10 of these. ; )
What an amazing way to eat spaghetti - My all time favourite pasta....nothing comes close to this in the pasta world...and I really am excited about finding out how it tastes baked...very original!
-Shilpa
Wow...these look really pretty and delicious....very impressive to serve. Would be fun to make a giant one :D
