Description
This Ramen Carbonara recipe is a delightful fusion dish combining the creamy, cheesy goodness of classic Italian carbonara with quick-cooking ramen noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 ounces ramen noodles (3 packages, discard the seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- 4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, which usually take just a couple of minutes. Once cooked, drain well and toss with olive oil to prevent them from sticking together.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until it turns brown and crisp. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and toss them with the crispy bacon and garlic. Remove the skillet from heat, then pour the egg and cheese mixture over the noodles. Toss everything thoroughly; the residual heat will cook the eggs gently, creating a creamy sauce coating the noodles.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil and additional freshly ground black pepper over the top. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
