8 oz pasta of your choice (e.g., penne, fusilli, or farfalle)
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1. In a large pot, combine the milk, eggs, basil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
2. Add the pasta to the pot and stir to ensure the pasta is well coated with the milk mixture.
3. Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has thickened into a creamy sauce, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and well combined.
5. Add the unsalted butter to the pot and stir until it's fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
6. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
