Carbonara Recipe Ala Nadia | How to cook Creamy Pasta Carbonara Filipino Style Recipe

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon offers lower fat content while ham is often less expensive.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor, while grated Pecorino is often cheaper.

Start by cooking the bacon in a pan without any oil until crispy, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the pan with the bacon, being careful not to brown it.

Stir in sliced mushrooms and mix with the bacon and garlic.

Season the mixture with dried basil and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.

Add 2 packs of Nestle cream to the pan, noting that this is for 10 servings.

Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer, adding at least half a cup of water to prevent it from getting too thick.

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water, checking for al dente texture around 5-6 minutes if the package says 7 minutes.

Once the pasta is al dente, drain it and mix it with the sauce in the pan, adjusting the sauce to pasta ratio as desired.

Before serving, top with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
