Ingredients:
8 ounces spaghetti
1 raw eggs
5 -8 cloves garlic, peeled and press ( not less)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4-1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
fresh fresh coarse ground black pepper ( a lot)
red pepper flakes
vegetarian bacon bits or regular bacon bits
parmesan cheese
black pepper
Directions:
Boil spaghetti in a pot of boiling water; (don’t over cook).
While spaghetti cooks, prepare sauce (this is a thick paste that you toss over the cooked spaghetti).
Place the egg garlic, butter, grated Parmesan cheese and dried sweet basil in a blender or food processor and blend together until smooth and well blended.
(You can do this by hand if the garlic is pressed).
When spaghetti is cooked and drained, (and hot) place it in a large bowl and add the garlic-cheese paste and chopped parsley and ground black pepper.
Toss well.
Place on servining plater (I warm my plates) and pass the red pepper flakes, bacon bits and more Parmesan and black pepper around for each to add.
You can vary this recipe by adding sauteed onions and mushrooms, stir-fried green peppers or added cream or sauteed shrimp.
Enjoy, and you will know you added enough garlic if you wake up the next morning tasting it on your breath.
