5-Ingredient Pasta Carbonara with Spicy Sausage

Ingredients:

• 220 g wide egg noodles
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 raw hot Italian sausages, crumbled
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

1. Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions. Drain the noodles, setting aside a small amount of water in a separate container.
2. Place a large, straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion and sausage. Cook, breaking the sausage into pieces, for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper—this is important!
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan.
4. Add the drained pasta to the pan and stir until coated with the sausage fat. Remove the pan from the heat and add about a spoonful of the pasta water along with the egg and cheese mixture. Stir quickly to coat the pasta. Continue stirring until the water has evaporated slightly and a sauce-like consistency is formed. Add the parsley and stir again. Serve immediately.
