Carbonara (Japanese Style)

FIRST RECIPE!! Sorry for the bad picture quality.. Didn’t realized how bad quality the picture was taken after I ate this delicious home cooked pasta. 🙂 I tweaked this recipe slightly from the youtube channel “Cooking from the Dog”. Awesome Japanese cooking channel to watch. ” Cooking with the Dog” check it out. 

This Japanese inspired Carbonara dish, is definitely a delicious sparking meal. Being easy to prepare and cook makes this dish a flexible meal to prepare for lunch and dinner. A slightly cooked egg, fresh milk, and cheese conduct such a exquisite flavor that craves the taste buds of your mouth. Followed by a meat of your choice accompanied with garlic and rice wine. For this Carbonara, i used sausage instead of bacon and it works really well! These two combinations create a great taste and aroma to be mixed with pasta.

Here’s the recipe, Enjoy!
