🍝Ingredients

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp garlic powder

🍝Method

• Boil pasta until it becomes al dente

• While the pasta is boiling whisk egg with garlic powder, cream, cheese and bread crumbs in a bowl. Add around 3 tbsp pasta water until it becomes a paste

• Add boiled pasta to the bowl and give it a mix using a fork. Add a bit of the pasta water if necessary until you get an homogenous mix

• Heat olive oil to medium high heat in a frying pan so it reaches around 2cm height

• Using a fork, take little bit of the spaghetti and roll it with the aid of a fork on a spoon and carefully drop it to the hot frying pan. Fry it at a medium high heat until it becomes golden on each side. Transfer to kitchen roll to drain the excess oil

• Shave some extra Parmesan on top and enjoy hot !

FAQS and Tips

• The final pasta and parmesan mix should be quite thick so it all comes together when you roll it on the spoon

• I’m serving it with a cacio e pepe bechamel sauce. Simply make a light bechamel and add some pepper and Parmesan into the mix
