Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti:

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • Salt

Sauce:

  • 3/4 cup milk, plus more if needed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more to pass at the table (substitute Parmesan, if desired)
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti: In a large pot of generously salted water, cook the spaghetti until al dente.
  2. Prepare the sauce: Whisk together milk and egg in a small bowl.
  3. Drain the pasta: Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it.
  4. Mix the sauce: Return the drained pasta to the pot, add the milk/egg mixture and butter. Stir over low heat until the milk thickens and coats the noodles.

  6. Serve: Serve hot with extra Pecorino Romano cheese at the table.

Notes

  • You can add cooked bacon or pancetta for extra flavor.
