Method

6 steps 10 min prep · 15 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Whisk Eggs, Parmesan, and Black Pepper in a bowl.

Cook

Step 2. Cook Bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Spoon off all but a thin coating of fat.
Step 3. Stir Red Pepper Flakes into the skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and let the skillet cool slightly.
Step 4. Meanwhile, add Salt and Ramen Noodles to a large pot of boiling water. Cook until just tender, about 3 minutes or as the package directs; reserve a cup of cooking water, then drain.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Toss the drained noodles in the skillet with the bacon. Off the heat, toss in the egg mixture, adding reserved cooking water a splash at a time until a glossy sauce coats the noodles.
Step 6. Divide among bowls and serve immediately.

Tips

Good to know

Keep the skillet off the heat when adding the eggs so the sauce stays smooth rather than scrambling.

Swap it

Use less chili flakes if you prefer a milder bowl.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat gently with a splash of water.
