Ingredients

Instructions

  • Make the Vegan Egg Yolk following this recipe.
  • Bring salted water to a rolling boil and then cook the pasta very al dente. The pasta will finish cooking later. Set aside but save at least 1 ladle of the water.
  • Caramelize your plant based bacon in a pan with a little oil.
  • Add the al dente pasta to the pan with the bacon.
  • Now pour in a ladle of the cooking water you saved to the pan and cook for a further minute.
  • Add the vegan yolk you made in step 1 along with pepper and half of the grated cheese. Cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Serve straight from the pan with a handful of the remaining cheese and more freshly grated black pepper.

Notes

Do not cook the pasta completely in step 2. The pasta will naturally cook when you bring the dish together in steps 4 through 6. Cook the pasta to the instructions on the packet - 3 minutes.
