Ingredients

• 2 packets of instant ramen noodles

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 4 strips of bacon, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook Ramen: Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside. Reserve some noodle water.

2. Cook Bacon: In a pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Add garlic and chili flakes, sautéing for another minute.

3. Make Carbonara Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan cheese. Add a spoonful of hot noodle water to temper the eggs.

4. Combine: Lower the heat on the stove, add the cooked ramen to the bacon and garlic. Remove from heat, then pour the egg and cheese mixture over the ramen, stirring quickly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

5. Serve: Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

• For extra heat, add more chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

• Substitute bacon with pancetta or mushrooms for a different flavor profile.

• Be quick to stir in the egg mixture to achieve a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
