Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Mise en place
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Mince the garlic.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- Remove the bottom of the mushrooms; separate the mushrooms.
- Small-dice the bacon.
Step 2: Boil the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pot of the boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 2 to 3 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Start the carbonara
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the bacon* and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until golden brown and crispy.
- Add the garlic, white bottom of the scallion and mushrooms. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until softened.
- Add the miso, cream, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until heated through.
Step 4: Finish the carbonara & combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the cheese and S&P.
- Cook, whisking often, 1 to 2 min., until the cheese has melted.
- Add the pasta and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 5: Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Garnish with the green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
