Tomato Carbonara With Plenty Of Bacon
- 100 grams Pasta of your choice
- 80 ml (A) Heavy cream and milk in equal parts
- 1 (A) Egg yolk
- 1 (A) Parmesan cheese
- 1 (A) Salt
- 1 (A) Pepper
- 30 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove (B) Garlic (finely chopped)

- 1/4 of one onion (B) Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 slice (B) Bacon (1 cm thick)
- 1 (B) Takanotsume (round slices)
- 1/4 or 1/3 of one cube Soup stock cube
- 1 Black pepper (coarsely ground)
- Add 3 liters of water into a large pot and start to bring it to boil.
- This is the water to be used for cooking the pasta.
- Once the water is beginning to boil add 2 tablespoons of salt (this amount is equal to 1% of the weight of the water).
- The amount of salt used in Step 1 will also add flavor.
- Please make sure to measure out the salt carefully.
- When the pasta water comes to a boil, turn the heat down very low to have it ready to go.
- Cut and prepare each of the (B) ingredients as noted in the ingredient list.
- Add all of the (A) ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
- Put the olive oil, garlic, bacon and takanotsume into a cold frying pan and cook over a low heat.
- *The fragrance of each of the ingredients will transfer to the oil.
- When the garlic in the frying pan from Step 5 turns a light beige color, add the onion, salt and pepper and fry over a medium heat.
- When the onion from Step 6 becomes translucent, add the tomato and soup stock cube.
- Fry over a medium heat while crushing the tomatoes and occasionally mixing.
- When the tomatoes in the frying pan from Step 7 have become very soft, remove from the heat.
- At the same time add the pasta to the water from Step 2 and boil.
- When the pasta is cooked to al dente, drain the water and add the pasta to the frying pan in Step 8.
- Heat over a low-medium heat and coat the pasta with the ingredients.
- Add all of the ingredients in the frying pan in Step 9 to the bowl in Step 4 and mix well.
- Add hot water into a separate bowl in advance and place the bowl from Step 10 on top to create a double boiler.
- Warm the ingredients and mix well.
- If you heat the sauce as described in Step 11, the egg in the sauce won't become lumpy and it will become a thick and rich sauce.
- Once the sauce in Step 11 looks good, place it onto a plate, add plenty of black pepper and you're done!
- The rich sauce with the flavor of tomato is really delicious.
- Of course, I also love the crisp texture of the bacon.
- Try it out for yourself and taste how delicious it is...
- This is a version that I made with the same ingredients, except that I used 2 tomatoes.
- This is also delicious.
- Please try making your own version according to your taste...
