Simple Pasta Carbonara Simple Pasta Carbonara
Aiming for a healthier but rich pasta carbonara, I've been researching measurements that use less cream.For the pasta, make sure to minus 1 minute from the cooking time indicated on the package. This is because it will be heated again when combined with bacon From step 3 onwards, I recommend you remove it from the heat because the egg mixture will dry-up when it's heated too much. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 50 ml of cooking water from the pasta at step 3. For 2 servings. Recipe by Bi-jo cookpad.japan -

No Oil or Cream Added! Whole Egg Spaghetti Carbonara No Oil or Cream Added! Whole Egg Spaghetti Carbonara
I usually don't stock fresh cream or pancetta, so I like carbonara that can be made with everyday ingredients I have in my kitchen.I tried using milk instead of the pasta cooking water, but I prefer the egg-only version (using the cooking water) since it tastes more authentic to me.Fat will come out of the bacon or pork belly, so no oil is added to the frying pan. (I used a non-stick pan.) There's salt in the cooking water, bacon and Parmesan cheese, so add salt at the very end while tasting. Onions sweeten the sauce, so I recommend adding mushrooms or asparagus, etc. instead. For 1 serving. Recipe by kkrr cookpad.japan -
