08 Step

Recipe View Serve immediately, topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

For a richer flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties, such as cremini and shiitake.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using pre-grated cheese, as it doesn't melt as smoothly.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your personal preference. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Don't overcook the eggs! The residual heat from the pasta and skillet will cook the eggs to a creamy consistency. If the skillet is too hot, the eggs will scramble.

    The key is to work quickly when adding the egg mixture. The heat of the pasta cooks the eggs perfectly.
