Instructions

  1. Cut the smoked cheese into small cubes.
  2. Peel and dice the onion. Fry in a little hot olive oil until translucent and add the milk (amount depending on the sauce requirements). Add half of the smoked cheese and melt in the milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. In the meantime, cook the spaghetti al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
  4. Thicken the sauce with mondamin as needed. As soon as the spaghetti is done, add the remaining cheese cubes to the sauce (these are the bacon cubes - since the cheese has a brown edge on the outside, it actually looks similar) and serve immediately.
  5. Serve with a green salad.
  6. Note: In contrast to the original, this type of carbonara does not contain any cream or egg. The smoked cheese contains fewer calories than the bacon normally used. In contrast to the normal variant, you save a lot of calories.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
