RAMEN CARBONARA

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat while ham is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Cut bacon into strips about 1.5 centimeters wide.

In a bowl, mix egg yolk with grated Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper to taste.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet.

Add the bacon strips to the skillet and sauté until just browned, not fully cooked.

In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the ramen noodles, cooking for 90 seconds.

Drain the ramen noodles and add them to the skillet with the bacon.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the noodles, ensuring it only touches the noodles and not the bottom of the skillet.

Quickly mix everything together using a spoon and fork until well combined and creamy.

Serve on a plate, season with additional black pepper, and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
