Follow The Directions

01

Step

9 mins

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining. (Total time: 9 minutes)

02

Step

1 mins

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and water. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. (Total time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

8 mins

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ham and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 5 minutes more. (Total time: 8 minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the ham and onion. Pour the egg mixture over the noodles and stir continuously until the eggs are set and the sauce has thickened slightly. (Total time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

1 mins

Transfer the Ham and Egg Noodles to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. (Total time: 1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Feel free to experiment with different types of ham or add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms.
