A quick and easy creamy ramen carbonara with bacon and egg that combines the comforting texture of ramen noodles with the rich, silky sauce of traditional carbonara. Perfect for busy weeknights and a crowd-pleaser for all ages.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pack (about 3 oz / 85 g) instant ramen noodles, discard seasoning packet
  • 4 slices bacon, diced (preferably thick-cut)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (about 50 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still springy. Drain and set aside, reserving about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the cooking water.
  2. While noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet with bacon and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream (if using), and a generous pinch of freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Add the drained noodles to the skillet with bacon and garlic, tossing to coat in bacon fat. Remove skillet from heat.
  6. Immediately pour the egg and cheese mixture over the noodles. Toss vigorously using tongs or forks to coat noodles evenly. Add reserved noodle water little by little if sauce is too thick.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper. Serve hot with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper on top.

Notes

Remove the pan from heat before adding the egg mixture to avoid scrambled eggs. Toss briskly and keep everything moving to get a silky, luscious sauce. Reserve some noodle water to adjust sauce consistency. Use fresh eggs and Parmesan for best creaminess. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whole milk or omit it. For gluten-free, use gluten-free ramen or shirataki noodles.
