👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Combine cream, clams with juice, garlic, and anchovies in a large pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.

Add red pepper flakes and stir.

Beat egg yolk in a small bowl.

Add one spoonful hot cream mixture to egg and stir.

Pour egg yolk mixture into cream mixture and stir.

Add cooked spaghetti to the cream mixture; stir to coat the pasta, cover the pot, and let sit until flavors combine and pasta soaks up some of the sauce, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and season with salt.

Ladle pasta into bowls; top with croutons and basil.
