Bacon Carbonara
This is a classic creamy pasta that is simply delicious and so easy to make at home. It's creamy but there's no cream used. It's amazing how the eggs can make such a creamy and delicious sauce. It's basically a traditional egg-based carbonara sauce. The key is to add the egg sauce immediately after removing the pan from the stove so that the heat from the pan and pasta will essentially cook the egg sauce while still maintaining a creamy texture. This recipe is one of the 60 recipes from my cookbook.

1. Prepare the konjac noodles. Undo the knots and place into a colander. Rinse and drain. Then place into a dry pan and stir to remove excess water over medium heat. This step is important to remove the excess water from the konjac noodles then only it will be able to absorb the sauces. Once you do not see any water on the pan, remove and set aside the noodles.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the egg and cheese sauce in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
3. Heat up a pan with the cooking oil. Add the bacon and pan fry until browned.
4. Add the noodles and mix well. Remove pan from the heat and immediately add the egg and cheese sauce gradually, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. The heat from the pan and pasta will essentially cook the egg sauce while still maintaining a creamy texture. Adjust taste accordingly.
5. To twirl the pasta, use a large ladle and fork. Twirl the pasta into the ladle then transfer onto the serving plate. Use another fork to gently remove the fork inside the pasta. Then pour the bacon and sauce over the pasta.
6. Top with grated parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley.
