I just cant really fault it. We had a slightly different version of this however, you just cannot fault this dish. My first time making it, and it was easy and quick and filling, and something i will teach my 11 year old son to make

THE EGG GUY'S TIP:
By removing the pan from the heat this stops the eggs mixture from actually splitting and scrambling.
The heat from the cooked pasta and the residual heat of the pan will cook the sauce gently in no time, resulting in a silky, shiny sauce. Buonissima... VERY GOOD!
