EXTRA-CREAMY CACIO E UOVA WITH GRATED EGG
Cacio e uova - translating to "cheese and eggs" in Italian - is a Neapolitan dish traditionally made with short, tubular pasta and a rich, creamy sauce. Like in carbonara, the sauce combines finely grated cheese, eggs and starchy pasta water, but eliminates the meaty guanciale or pancetta. While lard may commonly be used in cacio e uova, we opted instead for butter, resulting in a pantry-friendly vegetarian dish that comes together in minutes. Perfectly toasted breadcrumbs, Parmesan and finely chopped parsley add extra texture and flavor to the topping. In this amped-up version, we also add lemon zest for a hit of brightness then top it all off with finely grated hard-boiled eggs to emphasize the beautiful egg flavor and give the dish an unexpected fluffy texture.

Steps:
- Whisk 2 of the eggs with the yolk, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until smooth and well combined; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and season the water generously with salt. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside. Once the water is boiling, gently lower the remaining 2 whole eggs into the pot with a slotted spoon or tongs and cook until hard-boiled (the whites and yolks are firmly set), about 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs with the slotted spoon to the ice water, keeping the water in the pot boiling. Let the eggs cool completely, then peel and set aside.
- Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the rigatoni well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan until combined. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Melt over medium-high heat, then add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and toss with a rubber spatula to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and the egg-cheese mixture. Cook, stirring continuously and scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is silky and slightly thickened to coat the pasta nicely, 2 to 4 minutes. It's important to turn the pasta frequently and scrape the skillet with a rubber spatula to ensure that the sauce cooks evenly and the eggs do not scramble. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water, 2 tablespoons at a time, to adjust the consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon into 4 shallow bowls, then top evenly with the toasted panko. Finely grate the hard-boiled eggs on a rasp grater over the pasta.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.
