Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dry pasta (whole wheat spaghetti recommended)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
-
Boil the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain well.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, making sure not to let it brown or burn.
-
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked and drained pasta to the frying pan with the garlic-infused oil. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly.
-
Add Eggs and Cheese: Quickly stir in the beaten eggs and grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the pasta is well coated and the eggs are cooked through from the residual heat. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs gently, creating a creamy sauce.
-
Serve: Transfer the carbonara to a serving dish or plate immediately. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy your delicious and comforting garlicky spaghetti carbonara!
