Ingredients

  • 100 g Lupin pasta
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper
  • ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Slice the garlic.
  3. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It goes soft fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  4. While the pasta cooks, warm the oil with garlic and chili over low until golden, 2 minutes.
  5. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  6. Toss the drained pasta with the garlic oil. Crack the raw egg into the warm pasta and stir vigorously, loosening with a splash of pasta water, until creamy and coated.
  7. Finish with black pepper and serve.
