Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams spaghetti
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional)
- 2 liters water (for boiling)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
While the spaghetti cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Grate the parmesan cheese and finely mince the garlic. If using parsley, chop it finely and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula to scramble the eggs, cooking them slowly until just barely set but still soft and creamy.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the eggs, tossing well to coat the pasta in the egg mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and toss again to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Spaghetti Eggs!
