Remove from heat and let cool. In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliolini al dente, the cooking time varies depending on the package. Keep in mind that they must be just blanched and semi-hard. Then drain them well, placing them directly in the pan with the cold dressing, sauté in the pan, also cooling down the tagliolini a little (in this phase, do not use forks, you risk breaking and tearing them). In the meantime, break the eggs, setting aside half of one of the yolks, which will be used to brush the surface, and mix with salt, pepper, and Parmesan. When the tagliolini have cooled down, add another drizzle of oil and the drained provola cheese, cut into cubes, and mix gently with the help of 2 forks, being careful not to break the pasta:
