Notes
The flavor of the egg noodles will greatly depend on the pasta sauce that you use too, so make sure to use the best garlic tomato pasta sauce or choose a pasta sauce that's your favorite.
In this recipe, I have used roasted garlic tomato pasta sauce which goes great with this noodles.
I have found that good quality tomato based pasta sauces and alfredo sauce also taste great with this dish.
If you are not in a hurry, toss the noodles with the sauce and little more olive oil (as mentioned in the last step) and stir fry for a couple of minutes, which will bring out the best flavors!
Also, adding more olive oil and red chili flakes (if using) makes this noodles very yummy, so feel free to use more of these if you want!
