Pasta with Fried Eggs and Parmesan

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.

Heat up 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic cloves and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly colored on each side. Smash them around a little while cooking. This is going to really flavor the oil without overpowering it. Remove garlic and add remaining oil.

Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook to al dente according to package instructions.

While pasta is boiling away, add eggs into garlic-infused oil, still over medium-low heat. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Turn off the heat.

Drain pasta and add to the pan. Toss pasta with eggs, breaking up the yolks. The eggs will finish cooking from the heat of the pasta.

Add Parmesan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
