BIRD'S NEST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together spaghetti, cauliflower puree, cheese, cornstarch, salt, and flaxseed.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon canola oil. Take one sixth of the pasta and form into an "O" shape, leaving a 2 1/2-inch opening in the center. Cook until brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Carefully turn spaghetti mixture over and crack 1 egg into the center of the "O," taking care not to break the yolk. Cover and cook until egg is set and cooked to desired degree of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Keep warm and repeat process with remaining pasta mixture and eggs. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
