This is the creamy version — cream in the sauce, onion and garlic in the pan — not the Roman one with just egg, cheese and pasta water. Purists can look away. It’s a weeknight cook: the whole thing takes about as long as the pasta needs to boil, and the only real skill is getting the egg in off the heat so it turns into a sauce instead of scrambled egg.
