Critical Success Points

  • Separating egg yolks without breaking the whites.
  • Turning off the heat before adding the egg‑cheese mixture to prevent scrambling.
  • Cooking pasta al dente and reserving pasta water for sauce emulsification.

Safety Warnings

  • Boiling water can cause severe burns—handle with care.
  • Hot pan with rendered fat may splatter; keep a lid nearby.
  • Raw eggs are used; ensure they are fresh and consider using pasteurized eggs if concerned.
