Step 1
Cook the 8 oz pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp chili flakes, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to coat, then make a well in the center.
Step 4
Crack 2 eggs into the well. Cook without stirring until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
