FAQs

Is it safe to use raw eggs in the sauce? Yes—tossing the egg mixture with hot pasta off the heat cooks the eggs gently; use pasteurized eggs if concerned.
How do I fix a sauce that looks curdled? Stir in a splash more reserved pasta water and keep tossing off the heat; that usually smooths it out.
Can I add cheese or vegetables? Yes—stir in grated cheese after combining for extra creaminess; quickly sautéed greens or peas work well.
