    Once fragrant, add 1 slice of bacon cut into thin strips and cook until oil is absorbed. Then add 3-4 bunches of komatsuna, roughly chopped.

    When the komatsuna becomes tender, add the ★ seasonings and quickly toss everything together. Remove from heat.

    Drain the cooked pasta in a colander, shake off excess water, toss with the vegetables from step 4, and finish with coarse ground black pepper to taste.

Tips

Since this recipe uses a generous amount of olive oil, if the finished dish feels too oily, reduce the oil or add a little pasta cooking water and emulsify for better balance. You can also adjust the sugar amount to your taste preference.
