A creamy, savory noodle dish blending Italian flavors with quick-cook ramen, made effortlessly in the Instant Pot.
# What You'll Need:
→ Noodles
01 - 2 packets instant ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
→ Meats
02 - 4 strips bacon, chopped
→ Dairy
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
→ Aromatics
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Liquids
07 - 2 cups water
→ Seasonings
08 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - Salt, to taste
→ Garnishes (optional)
10 - Reserved cooked bacon
11 - Additional grated Parmesan cheese
12 - Chopped fresh parsley
# Directions:
01 - Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Add chopped bacon and cook until crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon of cooked bacon for garnish and leave the rest in the pot with the rendered fat.
02 - Add minced garlic to the bacon fat and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Place ramen noodles into the pot (break in half if needed) and pour in 2 cups of water. Stir gently to submerge noodles.
04 - Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Perform a quick pressure release once cooking is complete.
05 - Whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan, heavy cream (if using), and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl until combined.
06 - Quickly open the pot and stir in the egg-Parmesan mixture vigorously to create a creamy sauce, ensuring the eggs cook gently without scrambling. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately topped with reserved bacon, additional Parmesan, and parsley if desired.
