Tender pasta coated in melted cheese gives a creamy, cohesive mouthfeel, while diced ham provides occasional chew. Bell pepper pieces add a slight crisp/bite and the eggs (if slightly runny) contribute a silky, rich finish.
Warm savory notes of melted cheese and cooked ham dominate, brightened by a fresh ginger top note and olive oil. A faint tomato sweetness and roasted bell pepper scent round out the overall aroma.
A crisp, unoaked white like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc to cut richness, or a light lager; sparkling water with lemon also works well.
A simple mixed green salad with vinaigrette to cut through the richness, garlic bread or crusty bread to scoop up the skillet, or roasted/steamed green vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the minced ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced ham and tomatoes to the pan. Stir and cook for 3 minutes until tomatoes start to soften. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix well. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and stir until melted. Make 2 small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into them. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
