Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Egg noodles (or any pasta of your choice)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the noodles and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with half of the grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup), garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Reduce the heat to low, then slowly pour the egg and Parmesan mixture over the noodles. Stir gently but continuously to create a soft, creamy sauce. Be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should remain silky.
If the mixture seems too thick, stir in small amounts of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
