Ingredients

• 200 grams spaghetti
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add a generous pinch of salt, and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring frequently, until they are creamy and just set. Do not overcook.

Step 6

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and toss to combine. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the dish and coat the spaghetti evenly.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
