of all places.

I mix the beaten eggs with the grated cheese, add the fried spec (cooled). I add about 2 TBS of the fat from the spec to the eggs. Then I drain the pasta and keep it in the pot after saving a bit of the pasta water. I just dump the whole lot into the pot with the spaghetti and lift and stir with tongs quickly. I think the cheese int he eggs limits the speed of the eggs cooking.
I use about 6-7 large eggs with 500 grams of pasta. That would be about 6 eggs and a pound of pasta. Add pasta water as required.
