Ingredients

1.5 cups elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon butter
0.25 teaspoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange cooked macaroni over the melted butter; avoid stirring. Season generously with paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour eggs evenly over the macaroni. Cook undisturbed until the eggs begin to set, approximately 2 minutes. Then, gently cook and stir until the eggs are almost fully set, about 5 minutes. Cover the skillet and remove from heat, allowing it to sit until the eggs reach your desired consistency, around 2 to 5 minutes.
