Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 3 large eggs
- 60 milliliters milk
- 150 grams ham
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Chop the ham into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped ham to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine with the ham and garlic.
Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti, stirring continuously to coat the pasta evenly. The residual heat will gently cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spaghetti with Ham and Eggs!
