Ingredients for A Duet Of Pasta And Cheese

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh Parsley

How to Make A Duet Of Pasta And Cheese

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the drained spaghetti and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is slightly golden and crispy at the edges.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. In a separate small skillet, whisk the eggs lightly. Pour the eggs into the pasta skillet and cook for another minute or so, stirring gently, until the eggs are set to your liking.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
