1/2 to 3/4 cup of the pasta water ½ to ¾ cup of the pasta water
red pepper flakes (optional) red pepper flakes (optional)

Bring a pot of water to a boil and throw the pasta in, cook according to directions. While the pasta is boiling, dump all of the other ingredients except for the water into a heat-safe bowl.
When the pasta is done, reserve up to ¾ cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta. Slowly stream the cooking water into the bowl while whisking until you've achieved a smooth sauce. Make it as thick or as thin as you like.
Toss the pasta with the sauce and then serve into 4 individual bowls. Top with red pepper flakes if desired. (I do this every time because I like mine REALLY spicy, and because I think it makes it look nicer.)
Enjoy!
