This instant ramen carbonara is my take on carbonara, made with ingredients you probably have on hand. I grew up eating ramen noodles nearly every day, and am always looking for ways to flavor them without using the seasoning packet.

Ingredients

6 cups water
3 packages instant ramen noodles , 3 ounce
6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 large eggs
0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons water
0.25 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic , minced

Instructions

1

Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
3

Whisk eggs, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons water, parsley, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
4

Add garlic to the skillet with bacon drippings and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Toss in drained noodles and cook 3 minutes more. Turn off heat.
5

Pour in reserved egg mixture, toss to coat, and let sit 2 minutes before serving.
