Ohhh there are a lot of good vegan bacon flavor substitutes you could try adding too if you feel the tofu gets overwhelmed! I’ve done a lot of vegan/vegetarian cooking over the years

I’ve never found a fakin’ bacon I like. Do you have a favorite?

Here’s our result. Not a bad first attempt. Didn’t make enough sauce for the amount of pasta. Otherwise pretty tasty!

I’m not such a big fan of fakin’ bacons, but more just adding the expected flavor. The Kitchn has a nice write up about it https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-add-the-smokey-flavor-of-bacon-to-vegetarian-and-vegan-dishes-171151

Also I really like the red phacon salt made by Apothecary Spices (a local spice company near where I live)

I was inspired for both the frittata and the carbonara by the Stanley Tucci series, Searching for Italy. 🇮🇹

I’ve heard so many good things about this series! I’ll have to give it a try 🙂
