Spicy Garlic Cheese Pasta

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, finely chop the garlic, onion, and hot red chili pepper.

3. 3

   In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

4. 4

   Add the garlic and chili pepper to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.

6. 6

   Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic, onion, and chili butter.

7. 7

   Remove the skillet from the heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

8. 8

   Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
