Cooking Steps
- 1
Add 2000ml water and 20g salt to a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add 200g spaghetti and boil for 1 minute less than the time indicated on the package.
Advice : Adding 1% salt to the water ensures the pasta itself is properly seasoned.
Boiling pasta (estimate) 7 minIngredientsWater 2000mlSalt 20gSpaghetti 200g - 2
While the pasta is boiling, cut the ingredients. Slice the eggplant into 1cm thick half-moons. Remove stems and seeds from green peppers and slice into 1cm strips. Cut bacon into 1cm pieces and finely mince the garlic.
Advice : If you use eggplants immediately, soaking is not necessary. If you are concerned about bitterness, soak them in water after cutting.
IngredientsEggplant 2 piecesGreen pepper 2 piecesHalf bacon 4 slicesGarlic 1 clove - 3
Heat 20g butter and garlic in a frying pan over low heat. Once fragrant, add bacon, eggplant, and green pepper in that order and sauté over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Advice : Butter burns easily. If the heat feels too strong, lower it or add a small amount of pasta water to prevent scorching.

Add the boiled pasta, 2 tablespoons of pasta water (not listed in ingredients), and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Toss everything together quickly.
Advice : Adding pasta water helps the butter and liquid emulsify, allowing the sauce to coat the pasta better.
IngredientsSpaghetti 200gSoy sauce 1 tbsp - 5
Plate the pasta and finish by sprinkling 0.5g of coarsely ground black pepper.
Advice : Besides shredded nori or shiso leaves, grated parmesan cheese also goes very well with the butter-soy flavor.
