Notes
- Note! Do not rinse the pasta after draining, we need it to be hot to cook the egg. Make sure the egg is at room temperature before adding it to the pasta.
- If the egg is cold, it might scramble. To be on the safe side, once you drain the water from the pasta, leave the pasta aside for 2 minutes, then add the egg mixture and reserved water. Mix well to coat, cook for a further 30 seconds or so.
