Ingredients
- 1/2 pound pasta
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put the pasta onto boil in plenty of salted water.
- While your pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sauté just for a moment (do not overcook).
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
- Remove the skillet from the stove. Add the pasta, eggs, and cheese to the frying pan.
- Stir and mix well. The residual heat will cook the eggs. The cheese will melt, and the eggs will make a thick sauce if you feel the sauce is too thick, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of the pasta water.

Recipe Tips
- 🍝 Pasta Water: Save 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining - it's liquid gold for adjusting sauce consistency.
- 🥚 Egg Safety: Never add eggs to screaming hot pasta - let it cool slightly to prevent scrambling while maintaining creaminess.
- 🧀 Cheese Wisdom: Grate fresh and at room temperature for the smoothest sauce integration.
