Directions

In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and the spaghetti noodles. Boil for 7 minutes or until al dente. While the noodles cook, prepare the other ingredients.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and Cheongyang pepper. Cut the bacon into small pieces. In a blender, combine the soft tofu, milk, and 1/2 tsp salt, blending until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and bacon pieces, sautéing until fragrant and the bacon is slightly crispy. Stir in the blended tofu and milk mixture, cooking for 3 minutes.
Add the boiled noodles to the pan along with the Cheongyang pepper and Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
