Ingredients:

2 tbsps

Olive Oil

2 large

Egg (beaten)

Directions:

1

Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water according to the package directions

2

Drain, reserving some of the cooking water

3

Set a large pan with straight sides over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and sausage

4

Cook, breaking up the sausage, until brown, about 5 minutes, then season with salt and a few hefty grinds of coarse black pepper -- it's all about the pepper! In a small bowl, whisk together the Parmesan cheese and eggs

5

Add the drained pasta to the pan and swirl until it's mostly coated with the fat of the sausage

6

Remove the pan from the heat and add a spoonful or so of the pasta water along with the egg and cheese mixture

7

Toss rapidly to coat the pasta with the eggs and cheese

8

Continue to toss until the water evaporates a bit and creates a bit of a sauce

9

Add the parsley and toss again
