Ramen Carbonara

My favorite way to prepare ramen; basically substituting ramen noodles for spaghetti noodles. This is the base recipe that I use and I usually add whatever else I might have on hand, such as veggies that I sauté or leftover meat.

Ingredients

 * One package of ramen noodles
 * One egg
 * 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
 * Black pepper, to taste (optional)

Cookware

 * Medium saucepan
 * Large skillet
 * Mixing bowl

Directions

 * 1) In the saucepan, boil the amount of water specified on the package of ramen noodles (typically, 2 cups).
 * 2) Once water is boiling, add the noodles and let boil according to the package's directions (typically 3 minutes).
 * 3) In a mixing bowl, wisk the egg and Parmesan cheese. If you are using black pepper, combine it as well.
 * 4) When the noodles are al dente, remove from heat and drain the water.
 * 5) Immediately combine the egg sauce and toss with the noodles.
