FAQ:

Can I use other types of pasta?
Yes, you can use any type of pasta you prefer, such as penne or rigatoni, although spaghetti and fettuccine are the traditional choices.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
It’s best to make the sauce fresh as the eggs can scramble if heated too long. However, you can prep the egg and cheese mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use.
