One Pot Pasta Carbonara Recipe

A couple of weeks back, Kurt and I headed over to Flour & Barley, a new San Diego restaurant just a few blocks from my condo.

While the restaurant specializes in pizza & craft beer (hence the name!), it was their Pork Belly Carbonara that really stole the show! Don’t get me wrong, the pizza & craft beers were delicious too, but I couldn’t stop thinking about that creamy, dreamy pasta dish!

I decided to head home and put my “Bond Girl Twist” on the dish by making it a one pot meal. I’ve expressed my love of One Pot Meals various times on the blog, and it mainly goes like this, one pot = less dishes = my love!

One Pot Pasta Carbonara Recipe

This carbonara recipe contains all of the traditional ingredients, but it’s made in a totally new way!

One Pot Pasta Carbonara Recipe

Carbonara is traditionally made by “cooking” raw egg in hot pasta noodles with parmesan cheese, butter and cooking water from the pasta.

Instead of mixing the raw egg into the cooked pasta, I cracked the egg on top of the cooked pasta dish and let is set. I then served it on top of the pasta, so that when the yolk is sliced into, you get all that runny, yolky goodness over the pasta.

I had to make this recipe a couple of times to get the dish that I wanted. Now that it’s perfect, I’m so excited to share it with you! I’ll definitely be putting it on my regular rotation of weeknight one pot meals!
