Spaghetti with cheese and salted eggs

Here’s a delicious and unique recipe for spaghetti with cheese and salted eggs:

Ingredients

• 200g (7 oz) spaghetti
• 2 salted egg yolks (cooked and mashed)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
• Red chili flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions

1. Cook the Spaghetti:

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

2. Prepare the Sauce:

1. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Add the Salted Egg Yolks:

1. Stir in the mashed salted egg yolks and cook for another minute, allowing them to break down and blend with the butter and garlic.

4. Combine the Ingredients:

1. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream or milk to the pan. Stir well to combine.
2. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
3. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

5. Toss the Spaghetti:

1. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt, as the salted egg yolks and Parmesan cheese are already salty.

6. Serve:

1. Divide the spaghetti among serving plates.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

This recipe combines the rich, umami flavor of salted eggs with creamy cheese, making for a deliciously unique pasta dish. Enjoy your spaghetti with cheese and salted eggs!
