Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti (or any pasta of choice)
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them together with the salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tossing the pasta continuously to ensure the eggs cook gently and form a creamy sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add the reserved pasta cooking water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Plate the pasta and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if using. Serve immediately.
