Sichuan Bacon Pistachio Carbonara

Dive into a bowl of creamy comfort with this Sichuan-style twist on the classic carbonara. Each forkful offers silky pasta enveloped in a rich, nutty sauce — subtly buttery and golden — thanks to the pistachio butter and egg-cheese emulsion. Crisp, smoky Sichuan bacon adds a deep savoury crunch and a hint of Sichuan character, while the scattered strands of Parmigiano Regiano melt into the sauce, stitching everything together with salty, aromatic cheese notes. The black pepper brings a gentle sharpness that cuts through the richness, making every bite balanced and satisfying. Light enough for a cosy dinner, yet indulgent enough to feel like a treat — this carbonara re-imagined brings a comforting warmth with a pinch of adventure.
