Method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, then refresh under cold water and drain again.
- Heat a sauté pan over a high heat and melt half the butter. Add half the spaghetti and cook, stirring, until it begins to crisp.
- Whisk 3 of the eggs in a jug with a little seasoning, adding half the Parmesan, half the herbs and half the chilli. Pour into the pan, stir well, then cook for 2 minutes until beginning to set in the centre.
- Fold the omelette, then slide onto a warmed serving plate. Keep it warm while you repeat with the rest of the butter, pasta, eggs, cheese, herbs and chilli. Serve topped with watercress and the extra Parmesan.
