    ["In a small bowl, cream the soft butter by beating it against the sides of the bowl with a wooden spoon until it is soft and fluffy.", "In another small bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks with a fork or whisk until they are well blended, then stir in 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Set both bowls aside.", "Heat a large ovenproof serving bowl in a 200 degree oven. At the same time, bring the water and salt to a bubbling boil in a large pot. Drop the spaghetti into the pot and stir with a wooden spoon to ensure that the strands do not stick together. Cook spaghetti over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 12 minutes (according to the package's instructions). The spaghetti should be \"al dente\"" at this point.""
