Cook noodles in very salty water, strain and put a little bit of the cooking-water back in the pot and let it boil down for a second.
Mix the egg with a handful of really, really good hard cheese, season with really, really good pepper.
Put the spaghetti back in the pot with the starchy water, let it cool down for a second (or the egg will cook immediately, which we really don’t want). Add the egg-cheese mix and stir. After a minute or two you will get a creamy and salty deliciousness wrapped around some fine al’ dente noodles. 3 ingreadients, 1 pot. 12 min work.

im sorry but thats five ingredients. spaghetti, egg, cheese, pepper, and salt. technically six if you include water.
Even more when you count electricity, a pot, cooking utensils, air, and a person to make it.
yes the most essential ingredient of all, the cook lol
That’s the recipe for cacio e pepe pasta.
Nice! Carbonara was my first thought too.
