Tips & Tricks
If you're a bit reluctant of a slightly undercooked egg, you can heat up a pot and slightly cook the egg in the sauce and pasta.
The garlic is optional, it gives a light flavor to the oil and will let you know when the oil is hot.
The pasta should never wait for the sauce and shouldn't be rinsed, so it doesn't lose it is starchiness.
