This 15-minute pasta with egg and cheese turns hot noodles, eggs, garlic, and parmesan into a silky, carbonara-style sauce without cream.

📝 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

  1. 1Put the pasta onto boil in plenty of salted water.
  2. 2While your pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sauté just for a moment (do not overcook).
  3. 3Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
  4. 4Remove the skillet from the stove. Add the pasta, eggs, and cheese to the frying pan.
  5. 5Stir 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.
