Ramen Carbonara Recipe (with Video)

1. Bring about 1 quart of water to a boil in a large high-walled skillet. Add the two blocks of ramen noodles to the water along with both of the seasoning packets.
2. Cook the ramen noodles until al dente, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Once the noodles are cooked, drain the noodles, making sure to reserve the seasoned cooking liquid.
4. Wipe out the pan and add the bacon and ½ cup of water to the pan. Cook over medium heat until the water has evaporated and all of the fat has rended out of the bacon, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat.
6. Add the bacon back to the pan along with the drained noodles. Cook and toss the mixture over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add about ¼ cup of the seasoning cooked liquid to form a sauce with the bacon fat.
7. Turn off the heat and allow the noodles to cool for 1-2 minutes or until the bacon stops sizzling.
8. Add the parmesan cheese to the pan, then stir the noodle with tongs while slowly pouring in the egg. Stir/toss the ramen thoroughly to combine the noodles and sauce. Add more seasoned cooking liquid as necessary to loosen the sauce.
9. Serve and enjoy!
