Note

Do not boil the sauce after adding the egg yolks, or they will scramble. Keep the heat low and stir constantly.

Serve immediately over hot pasta to ensure the sauce stays smooth and creamy.

For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of butter and olive oil for sautéing the garlic.

If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of warm pasta water or additional cream.
