Preparation

Step 1

In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil. Add noodles and cook, uncovered, until barely tender to bite, 2 to 3 minutes for fresh pasta, 8 to 9 minutes for dry. Drain well. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic stir until garlic is limp, about 1 minute. Add pasta and mix well until hot and coated with butter. Add eggs, cheese, and 2 tablespoons parsley; mix just until eggs are softly set and cling to noodles about 1 minute. Spoon onto a plate. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle noodles with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Make 1 serving.
