Homemade Easy Pasta Carbonara

easy homemade diy pasta carbonara pasta dinner

This super quick Pasta Carbonara uses Ramen Noodles- the entire thing takes 15 minutes, especially if you already had the bacon cooked and ready to go. This is a great go to dinner, you could also add chicken to stretch it even farther and make it the whole meal. Let’s make dinner tonight and let’s make it easy!

This recipe can also be Gluten Free. I like to get my ramen noodles from Costco and this is what they look like –



Ingredients

Directions

    1. Cook the noodles: cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. They shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes to cook. Toss them with the olive oil to keep them from sticking together.
    2. Prepare the egg mixture: in a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs with the Parmesan cheese. Set aside until ready to use.
    3. Cook bacon: In a large skillet cook the bacon until brown and crisp. If too much fat is in the skillet, drain leaving 1 tbsp of bacon fat. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds until aromatic.
    4. Finish the carbonara: Add the ramen noodles to the skillet and toss together with the bacon. Remove from heat. Pour the egg/cheese mixture over the noodles and toss well. The heat of the noodles should cook the egg as needed.
    5. Garnish and serve: Garnish the carbonara with some fresh basil and some more freshly ground black pepper and serve while still warm.
