In a pan with olive oil, fry the sliced garlic until crisp, almost like deep-frying.
Once the garlic softens slightly, add the chili flakes; once the garlic turns golden brown, remove it and set aside.
In the garlic-infused oil, add the 3 eggs and the pat of butter, breaking up just the whites first as they cook.
Add the cooked pasta, a spoon of chicken stock, and a splash of pasta water, cooking slowly until the pasta and egg come together.
Top with the reserved garlic flakes to finish.
Tips
Adding the pasta and tossing it slowly with residual heat, rather than high heat, is the key to a thick, glossy sauce.
