The warm spaghetti in this dish "cooks" the egg mixture to create a silky sauce, just like in a traditional carbonara recipe. Miso paste increases the umami factor and bright broccoli rabe brings freshness to the classic bacon, egg, and cheese combo.

      The flavor was there, but I agree with other reviewers that there was far too much pasta relative to the rest of the ingredients. Also, there is no step for saving pasta water to loosen the sauce, which I am thankful that I did, because this was a gummy mess before I added it. I would make this again with some edits.

        I love this dish. So easy and delicious. I couldn't find broccoli rabe so I used Chinese broccoli. So yummy. Love the umani taste of the miso and prefer this over the traditional spaghetti carbonara. I will be making this again.

          Loved this but will cut back on salt next time. Added grilled chicken and it was great.

                  I spent a large portion of my life in Japan and use miso in so, so many of my dishes. I also cook classical Italian -- this combination of Parmesan-umami and miso-umami is just too much if you use proper miso paste. It's just too strong; too salty. Cheaper blonde miso brands might not carry the normal funk, but this recipe for anyone who uses the flavors of any of these ingredients regularly

                Sofrito Bolognese
                An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
