• While the pasta for this dish is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over moderate heat.

• Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle eggs with salt and red pepper flakes.
• Place the pasta on a serving platter and toss with Parmigiano-Reggiano, additional red pepper flakes, and parsley. Pour the contents of the egg pan, including the oil, butter, and garlic, onto the pasta.
