Dinner Ideas With Pasta and Eggs
Pasta and eggs is a classic Italian combination that results in some of the creamiest, most satisfying pasta dishes without cream.
Eggs in pasta: the technique
The key with egg-based pasta sauces is temperature. Remove the pan from heat before adding eggs, toss quickly. The residual heat cooks the eggs without scrambling them.
- Remove from heat before adding eggs
- Toss constantly while adding
