Yield: 4 servings

Easy Garlic Egg Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound pasta, long
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for pasta water)
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 5 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Bring water and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil. Add pasta and stir it around a little to keep from sticking. Return to a boil, then boil uncovered until al dente.
  2. Start checking the pasta for doneness at about 6 minutes. See package instructions for cooking time guidelines.
  3. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté for about 30, seconds, but do not brown it. Take the garlic off the heat and set aside.
  4. Whisk 5 eggs together in a bowl and set aside.
  5. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain it and return it to the pan.
  6. Immediately add the eggs and garlic to the hot, drained pasta and stir quickly until the eggs are cooked. If the eggs do not cook completely, turn on the burner to medium-low heat and continue stirring until the eggs are cooked.
  7. When the pasta is finished, add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

Notes

Use long pasta like spaghetti, linguine, or angel hair pasta.

Pasta is al dente when it is firm to the bite and loses it’s raw taste. It will have a slight resistance when bitten into. It is not soft or overdone.

If you stir the eggs and pasta together too slowly, the eggs may clump.

You may want to serve this pasta with a salad, bread and a steamed vegetable.

You may want to use a non-stick pan if the eggs stick to the pan too much.
