Best recipe for making pasta?

I go for 1 egg per 100g flour.

Anything to jazz it a bit?

If the spaghetti is already cooked

then stir fry smocked bacon add double cream, let bloil slowly for 30 seconds, add black pepper and sea salt at your taste and throw the spaghetti into this mix , mix all very well for a minute and is ready to serve spaghetti carbonara in its simplicity but delicious! A beer is always my suggested drink when comes to carbonara

just the yolks, separate them and have a meringue for afters.

The quality of the eggs makes a huge difference. If you refrigerate the dough before stretching, you shouldn't need olive oil

abruzzo Italy (and UK)

Cooked spinach, it needs to be finely chopped and very squeezed out though to not add moisture to the pasta mix

Not just eggs and cheese. Guanciale is really important for that savoury saltiness to cut through some of the richness.

6 large cloves of garlic finely grated.

A handful of fresh parsley finely chopped.

I level teaspoon full freshly ground black pepper.

50ml olive oil.

Heat gently so as to infuse the flavours then pour into the drained spaghetti and fold it through.

Sprinkle with plenty of freshly grated parmesan.

Absolutely gorgeous and cheaper than chips. Think it's called pepperonicci or something like that.
