No Oil or Cream Added! Whole Egg Spaghetti Carbonara
- 100 grams Spaghetti
- 2 slice Bacon (or thinly sliced pork belly)
- 1/4 bag Shimeji mushrooms (or any mushrooms of your choice)
- 1 Egg
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 dash Coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 to 5 tablespoons Pasta cooking water
- Boil the spaghetti in plenty of 1% salt water.
- (Drain the pasta a bit earlier than the cooking time indicated on the package, so it's al dente.)
- Cut up the additional ingredients.
- Make the egg mixture.
- Beat the egg with a whisk until it's creamy, and mix in the Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the bacon in a frying pan until it's crispy.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
- Add the mushrooms and any other vegetables, and saute them.
- Put the cooked spaghetti in the frying pan and mix well with the other ingredients.
- If there is not enough pasta water, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons.
- Take the frying pan off the heat, add the egg mixture and toss quickly so that the egg doesn't set.
- Keep putting the frying pan on and off the heat (set to low) until the egg is creamy.
- Taste, and see if the seasoning is just right.
- Transfer to a plate, add some coarsely ground black pepper to taste, and enjoy.
- Here I used pork belly.
- If you're using pork belly instead of bacon, you should salt it beforehand.
- Pork belly will increase the calorie count a bit.
- With these ingredients, 1 serving has 709 kcal.
- If you just use mushrooms (and no pork belly or bacon), it has about 547 kcal.
