INGREDIENTS

3 Large Eggs
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 pound Bacon
2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
1 pound Spaghetti
1/4 cup Chopped Parsley
Salt To Taste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl, whisk eggs until blended, then whisk in Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Set aside.

Start heating up a big pot of heavily salted water to a boil, to cook the pasta.

In the meantime, cut bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes until crisp and browned.

Leave at least 4 tablespoons or so of fat. Add garlic to the pan and cook for a couple minutes, until garlic is slightly cooked.

Put bacon & garlic to a very large mixing bowl.

When the pasta water is boiling, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, about 10 minutes.

Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then immediately add the noodles to the bacon and garlic bowl, pour in the egg-cheese mixture, and toss everything together very well for about 1 minute.

The cheese and egg mixture should melt into a silky, glossy sauce that coats the noodles. As the noodles cool, you will likely need to add ½ cup to 1 cup of the pasta water, to keep the sauce silky.

Toss in the chopped parsley, then serve and enjoy!
