Hi Anonymous,

Thanks for your comment. While we normally share your concern about not consuming raw eggs, the heat of the pasta is quite sufficient to cook the fresh eggs in this instance. If you are still unsure, it is possible to allow a small portion of the boiling water from the noodles to be left undrained.

anything you can use instead of eggs? The recipe looks good except for the idea of the eggs. I do not like eggs of any kind

You sure can!

You could try omitting the ingredient altogether, or substitue it with cooking creme, which should do the trick.

Let us know how it turns out!

Why not use Eggbeaters or pasteurized eggs if you are not sure about using fresh eggs?
