Step 5

Boil for 8-10 minutes or until noodles are tender.

Step 6

Add more water if it is not as soupy as you would prefer once noodles have expanded. (If you add more water, bring back to a boil before adding the egg.)

Next, pour in beaten eggs, stirring as you pour them in to break them up.

Step 8

Add parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
