This Japanese-inspired Carbonara is slightly altered to fit the Japanese palate. We will be careful not to overcook the egg. The egg, cheese and bacon are spiced up with the salt and pepper.

Instructions
- Slice the chunk of bacon into 7mm (0.28") square strips. This is a cut from the belly or side of the pork and also known as slab bacon.
- Combine the whole egg, grated Parmesan cheese, milk and black pepper. Thoroughly mix the the ingredients in a bowl.
- Place the crushed garlic into a pan. And pour in the extra virgin olive oil. Heat the pan on medium heat. When it begins to sizzle, reduce the heat to low and saute the garlic until aromatic.
- Add the bacon. Continue sauting until the bacon is browned and it starts to grow more fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and swirl the pan. When the sauce is slightly thickened, turn off the burner.
- Let’s cook the pasta. Boil about 0.7 percent of a large amount of salt water. The bacon and cheese both contain salt so a little less salt was added to the water. Submerge the spaghetti in the pot. Cook the pasta for 30 seconds less cooking time than shown on the package.
- Now, the pasta is ready. Using tongs, place it into the pan. Turn off the burner of the pot and begin heating the pan again. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce.
- When the pasta is heated, place it into the bowl of the egg mixture. Toss to coat again. If the egg mixture doesn’t have the desired consistency, heat the bowl in the remaining hot water. Now it is ready.
- Place the carbonara onto a plate. Top with the chopped spring onion leaves. Finally, sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
Recipe Notes
This recipe will help to avoid overcooking the egg since the sauce is not heated in the pan.
If you like a richer version of the carbonara, use whipping cream and egg yolks instead of the milk and the whole egg.
What can you use as a substitute for egg? Boyfriend has allergies
If you can’t use eggs, try adding heavy cream or increasing the amount of milk🥛 or cheese.🧀 Hope you and your boyfriend can enjoy the pasta🍝😋
