instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    3

    Next, add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.

    4

    Once the beef is cooked, lower the heat and crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the beef and onion mixture, cooking just until the eggs are set but still creamy, around 2-3 minutes.

    5

    When the pasta is ready, reserve a cup of pasta water then drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the skillet with the beef and egg mixture.

    6

    Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.

    7

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
