To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, typically for 6-10 minutes, until they reach your desired tenderness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles well and toss them immediately with your chosen sauce, butter, or oil to prevent them from clumping together. They are ready to be served as a main course or a side.
