Carbonara pasta

How to Make Carbonara

This time, we've combined Carbonara with Kutaniyaki pottery. We will also introduce the recipe, so please take a look.

 

Carbonara Ingredients

The ingredients are just bacon, cheese, eggs, and dried spaghetti noodles. (Excluding seasonings)

 

 

bacon

 

Fry the thinly sliced bacon in a pan with some oil until it's browned.

pan in water

Add about 350ml of water to the pan with the browned bacon and bring it to a boil. At this time, also scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with the water.

add the spaghetti

Once boiling, add the spaghetti. As shown in the image, pushing it down from the top will allow it to fit neatly into the pan.

 

add in the salt

Add a pinch of salt. After this, we'll add what's referred to as "consommé" in Japan - probably what's known as bouillon over here. The saltiness can vary depending on the cheese and bouillon used. Adjust to your preference. For this recipe, I added two pinches in total.

add bouillon

Add the granulated bouillon. As the boiling liquid gradually reduces, adjust the pasta's texture and the amount of liquid.

turn off the heat

Once the liquid level looks like the image, turn off the heat.

egg and cheese cheese

Add the prepared mixture of egg and cheese. For this step, I believe using grated cheese is the best option. However, for this recipe, we have substituted with powdered cheese. Please use your preferred cheese.

 

add olive oil

Finally, add a bit of olive oil and mix to emulsify. If you find the mixture a bit watery at this point, try cooking it over low heat while stirring for a brief moment.

 

black pepper on top

Plate the dish, and generously sprinkle black pepper on top.

 

complete

Enjoy with your favorite beverage!
