Notes
Use quail egg scissors to crack the eggs.
To avoid the egg yolks from breaking, pour each egg into a small bowl.
The pasta must be cooked al dente. It takes around 10 minutes to cook it using boiling water seasoned with salt. You can add a few drops of oil to avoid the pasta from sticking.
Temper the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Replace the jalapeño pepper with red pepper flakes.
If you cannot find perciatelli pasta, use fettuccine, thick spaghetti, or short pasta like penne.
