Suggest a better description1. Set a large pot of heavily salted water on to boil. Use slightly less water than usual to make the water more concentrated with pasta starch; you need just enough to cover the pasta.
2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, both kinds of cheese, a pinch of salt, a generous amount of black pepper, and a splash of cold water.
3. Boil the pasta in the pot of salted water for 1 minute less than the package's recommendation for "al dente" noodles.
4. While the pasta cooks, melt the butter with the garlic cloves in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, allow the smashed garlic to sizzle for a few minutes in order to infuse flavor into the butter. Discard both cloves of garlic.
5. When the pasta has finished cooking, drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water. Toss the pasta in the pan with the garlic-infused butter.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low; pour in a couple of tablespoons of reserved pasta water and vigorously toss. Dollop in the egg and cheese mixture and continue mixing aggressively until a silky sauce comes together, adding in more pasta water as needed.
7. Turn off the heat and stir in your parsley. Taste and season accordingly; serve immediately.
*If you do not own a kitchen scale with a setting for grams, 120 grams of grated cheese converts to just slightly over 2 ounces or a scant 1 cup.
