Noodle and Egg Recipe

I use the best Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and my favorite pasta noodles. To make noodle eggs with parmesan cheese sauce creamy and shiny, timing is key. Turn off the heat before mixing it with the noodles. This prevents the eggs from cooking too much and helps the sauce come together. Toss everything well, and add more pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.

For dinner, this noodles with eggs goes great with a side of greens. But if it’s late and you’re just in the mood for a snack, don’t hesitate, grab a fork and enjoy!

🧾Noodles Eggs Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this Noodles Eggs with Parmesan Cheese:

Eggs and Yolks: I use fresh, room-temperature eggs to create a rich and creamy sauce. When mixed with cheese, they form a smooth, velvety texture that coats the noodles perfectly and adds a subtle flavor.
Black Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper gives the dish a spicy kick and depth, balancing the richness of the eggs and cheese.
Parmesan Cheese: I prefer premium Parmesan for its nutty, salty, and savory notes. It melts into the eggs, creating a creamy texture. You can also use Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano for a similar flavor.
Water: The noodles cook in boiling water, which you can also save a bit of to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Salt: I add salt to the boiling water for seasoning.
Noodles: I like long noodles for this dish, but any type will work.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I use extra virgin olive oil to cook the pancetta, adding a subtle fruity flavor and richness.
Pancetta: Pancetta adds savory, salty, and slightly crispy bits that give the dish texture and depth. It also adds a touch of smokiness, balancing the creamy sauce. Bacon works well as a substitute too.

1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with black pepper, then mix in the grated parmesan cheese.

2. In a large pot, bring the 1.5 liters of water to a boil. Add the salt and noodles and cook al dente according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes).

3. While the noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced pancetta and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy.

4. After cooking drain the noodles and reserve the water, add the noodles to the pan with the pancetta and toss to mix the noodles.

5. Turn off the heat and gently pour the egg and cheese mix over the hot noodles, tossing quickly to cook the eggs without scrambling them. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved noodle water to thin it out.

6. Serve the noodles with eggs right away, adding extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper if you like.

🍽 What to Serve with Noodles Eggs

Noodles with eggs and Parmesan is a rich, satisfying dish, so I love pairing it with lighter sides that complement it without being too heavy. A Caesar or tomato burrata salad adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy pasta.

I also enjoy serving it with garlic bread or ciabatta slices to soak up any leftover sauce.

For drinks, I like a glass of lemonade, and for dessert, cottage cheese ice cream is a perfect finish.

💭Tips for Recipe Success

Cook Noodles Al Dente: Cook the noodles until they’re firm to the bite. This texture pairs well with the creamy sauce and gives the dish the right bite.

Cook Pancetta Carefully: Sauté the pancetta over medium heat until it’s crispy, but be careful not to burn it. The fat that renders out adds great flavor, so keep it in the dish.

Mix the Egg and Cheese Mixture Well: Whisk the eggs, yolk, black pepper, and grated cheese until smooth. This ensures the sauce coats the noodles evenly.

Control the Heat: Turn off the heat before adding the egg mixture to the pasta. The warmth from the pasta and pancetta will gently cook the eggs without scrambling them. If you're concerned, let the pasta cool for a minute first.

Storage: Store any leftover pasta in an airtight container. Keep the eggs in the fridge to stay fresh.
