Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 pieces eggs
- 50 grams grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta is cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and grated parmesan cheese together until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the spaghetti and transfer it immediately to the skillet with the garlic. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the garlic oil mixture.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Quickly pour the egg and parmesan mixture over the hot pasta, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it to your desired consistency.
Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
