🥓 A Taste of Italy, Smoked in Japan

Rich Parmesan Cream, Al Dente Penne, and Cherry-Wood Smoked Bacon

Craving a truly indulgent, comforting meal without the hassle of cooking from scratch? This massive 1.05kg Carbonara Penne tray is your answer. It's a legendary favorite from the Costco deli section, now expertly frozen and delivered straight to your doorstep in Japan.

The star of this dish is the dry-cured bacon, specifically smoked with Sakura (Japanese Cherry) wood chips. This adds a sophisticated, distinctly Japanese smokiness that perfectly balances the velvety, cheesy Parmesan sauce. Whether it’s a lazy Friday night or a sudden gathering, this giant tray ensures everyone leaves the table happy.

💡 Why Expats in Japan Can’t Get Enough

🍳 Chef’s Hacks: Elevate Your Dinner

1. The "Lava Egg" Finisher After heating the pasta, create a small well in the center and drop in a fresh raw egg yolk. The residual heat will slightly "cook" the yolk, turning it into a rich, golden sauce that is classic to authentic Italian carbonara.

2. The Crispy Parmesan Crust If using the oven, sprinkle an extra layer of grated Parmesan or Panko breadcrumbs over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking. It creates a satisfying, crunchy crust.

3. The Spicy "Diavola" Twist For those who like a kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes and a dash of good quality chili oil just before serving. The heat cuts through the creamy richness beautifully.

🧊 Smart Tips for Leftovers

Make a "Carbonara Fritter": If you have a scoop left over, mix it with a little extra cheese, form it into a patty, coat it in breadcrumbs, and shallow-fry until golden. It’s an incredible appetizer.

Individually Portioned for Lunch: Don’t heat the whole tray! Use a knife to cut the frozen block into individual portions and microwave only what you need. It’s a great way to enjoy gourmet lunches all week.
