Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 packs Ramen noodles
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 large eggs

The eggs and cheeses are key for the savoury, creamy base of your carbonara sauce. Bacon adds that smoky flavour and delightful crunch. Don’t fret if you don’t have any of these at hand – ham or pancetta are great bacon substitutes, and Romano cheese can be used instead of Parmesan.
How To Make Ramen Carbonara
- Start by frying the bacon in the pan until it’s crispy to your liking. Then, chop it into small bits.
- Whisk the eggs and Parmesan together in a bowl. Add a generous helping of black pepper.
- Cook the ramen according to package instructions.
- Combine the ramen with the egg and cheese mixture, stirring to create a creamy sauce. Throw in the chopped bacon, stir again, and voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious Ramen Carbonara.
