Description
A creamy and savory fusion dish combining the rich flavors of Carbonara with the satisfying slurp of ramen noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 servings fresh ramen noodles
- 4 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Cook pancetta in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove pancetta and set aside, leaving rendered fat in the skillet.

- Add drained ramen noodles to the skillet with the garlic and rendered fat. Toss to combine.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, use all Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Adjust black pepper to your spice preference.
