Carbonara is known as a quick-to-fix meal, but get dinner done even sooner
by using ramen instead of traditional pasta.
2 slices bacon, chopped
½ cup chopped onion
2 (3-oz.) pkg. ramen noodles,
flavor packets discarded
½ cup frozen peas
¼ cup refrigerated egg product
or 1 pasteurized egg
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp. kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper
Chopped fresh parsley
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over
medium heat until crisp; transfer to
paper towels to drain. Add onion to
bacon drippings in skillet; cook until
tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook ramen in a saucepan
according to package directions, adding
peas the last minute of cooking. Reserve
½ cup cooking water; drain.
3. Whisk together egg, Parmesan,
onion and drippings, salt, and red
pepper in a bowl. Add hot ramen and
cooked bacon. Toss to coat, adding
enough reserved cooking water to
make a creamy consistency. Top
servings with parsley and, if desired,
additional Parmesan.
