Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 ounces dried broad or egg noodles
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 ounces Spam or Black Forest Ham, cut into small dice
  • 1/2 white onion, finely diced
  • Freshly ground black Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in noodles and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Reserve about an 1/8 cup of the pasta water and set aside.
  2. Add eggs, cream, and water to bowl; whisk to combine. Season with black pepper.
  3. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Spam or ham and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Stir cooked noodles into skillet. Pour egg mixture in and stir until eggs are set. Remove to a plate, sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
