Baked Bird's Nest

This side dish recipe is very simple. The end result looks like a bird's nest, which the kids think is cool. You could plop a few cherry tomatoes in there and call them eggs.. Or the adult version could be laying some grilled filet strips or baked salmon over the top of the nest.


Directions:
1. Cook 1/2 pound - 3/4 lb of spaghetti noodles
2. Add hot noodles to a big mixing bowl. Add a little bit of olive oil to avoid sticking.
3. Add two eggs to hot noodles.
4. Add a handful of shredded Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
5. Mix well.
6. Grab a small handful of noodle mixture and mold into a ball and place on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
7. Continue until noodle mixture is gone. Sprinkle each nest with Celtic sea salt, garlic powder and dried basil.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until nest is a little golden brown and crunchy on top.
