Step 1

Boil 100 grams of spaghetti in salted water until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain, but reserve some pasta water for later.

Step 2

In a separate saucepan, heat 100 grams of cream on a low flame. Be careful not to boil the cream; you just want it warm.

Step 3

Whisk one egg yolk and gradually incorporate it into the warm cream, stirring constantly to prevent the yolk from scrambling. This process enriches the sauce, giving it a creamy and velvety texture.

Step 4

Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Finish the dish by sprinkling grated cheese over the pasta. Use Parmesan or a similar hard cheese for the best flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
