Cook onion until sweet and translucent; finish eggs off the burner so the sauce stays creamy, not scrambled.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 14 min

Slice onion fine. Beat eggs with salt and pepper. Cook pasta al dente; reserve about ½ cup pasta water.
Skillet over medium-high with olive oil; cook onion until translucent with light caramel edges.
Off heat, away from the burner, add eggs and 2–3 Tbsp pasta water; stir into a thick sauce.
Toss drained pasta; thin with more pasta water if needed; adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

High pan heat will scramble the eggs—keep the pan off direct heat when adding them.
1 tsp grated cheese at the end nudges the flavor toward Western egg pasta.

Best fresh; reheated pasta dries out—not ideal for bento.

FAQ

Is the egg fully cooked?

Pasta heat and pasta water usually bring it to silky, safe doneness.
