Pasta con Uova is a delightful Italian breakfast dish featuring tender pasta tossed in a creamy egg sauce, making it both satisfying and protein-rich. This unique recipe brings together traditional flavors with a modern twist, perfect for starting your day on a delicious note.

Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine) - 150 grams
• Large eggs - 4
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic and toss to coat in the oil.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to achieve desired creaminess.
7. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
