instructions
    1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 250 grams of tagliatelle and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

    3

    Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

    4

    Add the 300 grams of washed spinach to the pan and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes until wilted.

    5

    Once the tagliatelle is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

    6

    Add the drained tagliatelle to the spinach mixture and toss well.

    7

    If it seems dry, add a bit of the reserved cooking water, about 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

    8

    In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and combine with 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    9

    Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, allowing the residual heat to gently cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.

    10

    Serve immediately with additional parmesan on top if desired.
