Recipe: Quick and easy cream pasta. Did you know that Japanese Italian restaurants are famous for being absolutely deicious?

Japanese Italian restaurants serve absolutely delicious dishes! So if you are there now, please give it a try. My personal favourites are located in Kamakura. Many restaurants are located right by the ocean and some are located in special alleys. Overall, restaurants in Kamakura have a very romantic feel...Perfect for date nights! 

Just remember to give the Italian restaurants a try while you are in Japan. Don't shy away from it! 

Map of Kamakura and all it's Italian restaurants are at the end of this post.

So, here's a quick and easy cream pasta recipe. All you need is for 1 serving:

• 2 - 3 pieces of bacon (or however many you like!)
• Cream (I used half and half) (1/2 cup)
• Pasta (1 cup dry)

• Veggies (I used some spinach)
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• (Optional) 1 egg yolk

1. Heat up some olive oil in a pan on MEDIUM to HIGH heat. Throw in the bacon and cook till they are crispy. Start cooking the pasta in a separate pot.

3. Add the pasta and the spinach. Mix. Add salt & pepper if necessary. (Salt should not be required as the pasta should be salty already!)

---

2. Once the bacon is nice and crispy, add the cream. The pasta should be ready by now. Make the cream bubble.

4. Sprinkle some cheese. Enjoy.

Add the egg yolk while the pasta is hot at step 3. This will help the cream get much more creamier like carbonara.
