First, gather all ingredients and equipment.
In a large pasta stock pot, fill with 5 quarts of water and 2 tsp of salt.
Then, bring water to a boil.
Once the water comes to a full boil, add the egg noodles and boil for 8 minutes. Make sure to stir the noodles occasionally so they don't stick together. (These noodles needed about two minutes past the recommended time.)
When the egg noodles have reached the desired consistency, strain the egg noodles in a colander. Then add the egg noodles back to the pot.
Add ¼ cup of butter and ¼ to ½ tsp salt and stir vigorously emulsifying with the residual pasta water. This will create the perfect light and creamy sauce for the egg noodles.
