Instructions
- Cook the tagliatelle in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, sauté the sliced onion in the olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the chopped garlic, tomato paste and paprika, then stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce, toss, and add a little cooking water if needed.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the chopped parsley, then stir them into the pasta off the heat, mixing vigorously so they coat the pasta.
- Serve right away, with grated parmesan if you're using it.
Variations and tips
Spicy version. Add a bit more harissa to the sauce for a spicier fourma.
