  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 6 ounces bacon, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt

Instructions:

  1. Cook spaghetti to al dente according to package instructions. Set aside 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bacon and fry until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the frying pan and place it on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, grated parmesan, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet with bacon fat and toss to coat. Remove the pan from heat.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and mix quickly. The heat from the spaghetti will cook the eggs into a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of pasta water to thin it out.
