Miso Carbonara
If you're looking for ultra umami creaminess in your next meal, this carbonara is everything.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bacon, chopped in 1-inch pieces
- 1 bunch lacinato kale leaves, stems removed and chopped
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 to 3 teaspoons Sriracha, to taste
- 3 large eggs + 1 yolk
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese + more for serving
- 1/2 pound dried or fresh spaghetti noodles
Instructions
- In a small skillet, on medium heat cook bacon until crisp and fat has rendered off. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel. In the same skillet, add in the chopped kale and cook. Stir kale frequently until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove kale and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together miso paste, Sriracha, eggs, egg yolk, cracked black pepper and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Bring a large pot, three-fourths full of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta, stir well and cook according to package directions for al dente.
- Add the hot, cooked al dente pasta and 3/4 bacon (save some for topping) to the skillet with kale and remove from heat. Add in whisked egg miso mixture and 1 cup of pasta water to the pasta. Toss everything well to coat until the sauce is silky and cheesy. The residual heat from the noodles will cook the eggs.
- Serve into bowls and top with extra Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper.
