Step 1:

How do you make skillet pasta with cheese and egg? Gather your ingredients. Use any pasta shape you like, but avoid very small ones like vermicelli — they tend to clump.
Step 2:

Drop the pasta into boiling water and cook until almost done, with a little salt. Follow the package for timing, and taste as it cooks so it doesn't overcook. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander.
Step 3:

Peel the onion, rinse it in cold water, and finely chop it. Add a little vegetable oil to a hot skillet and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes, until it just starts to turn golden.
Step 4:

Add the cooked pasta to the sautéed onion and stir.
Step 5:

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the grated cheese. Add a little salt and seasoning — ground pepper alone is fine, or add whatever you like.
Step 6:

Pour the cheese-and-egg mixture over the pasta and stir everything together. Fry for another 2–3 minutes — the egg will coat the pasta all over and cook through.
Step 7:

Your pasta with cheese and egg is ready! Serve it hot. Enjoy!

Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, and acidity is different, always season to your own taste. If you're using a spice for the first time, go easy — some, like chili pepper, are especially easy to overdo.
Important: the wrong skillet can spoil even the best recipe, so it pays to pick the right pan for the dish.
