Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 200 g (7 oz) pasta your choice of type
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp dried garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Fresh dill chopped
  • Optional: Italian seasoning or other spices to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes.
  3. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  4. Prepare the Cheese and Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
  5. Add the grated cheese to the eggs and mix well.
  6. Season the mixture with dried garlic, salt, and pepper. If desired, add some Italian seasoning or other spices for extra flavor.
  7. Combine Pasta and Egg Mixture: Return the cooked pasta to the pot or a large pan over low heat.
  8. Add the butter and stir until melted and the pasta is well coated.
  9. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly to ensure the eggs do not scramble. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs just enough to create a creamy sauce.
  10. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta evenly.
  11. Finish with Fresh Dill: Remove the pasta from the heat.
  12. Add the chopped fresh dill and stir to combine.
  13. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  14. Serve: Transfer the pasta to a serving dish.
  15. Garnish with a little extra grated cheese and a sprig of dill if desired.
  16. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors of this Italian classic.
