How to Tell It's Done

until al dente

Common Mistakes

The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
The eggs cook on their own at the side of the pan and only then get mixed in: that way they stay soft curds and don't smear over the noodles.

More Ways

Cook the noodles according to package directions, drain and add to the pan with the vegetables.
