Tips

* This is a great base/vegetarian dish, but feel free to add any protein you desire (chicken, shrimp, eggs, etc). Just be sure to cook the protein first and set aside, then add in the end with the noodles.

* Gauge how much sauce your dish needs by the color of the noodles. You want your noodles to be a medium brown color, not too light, not too dark.
