- 2 Garlic Cloves; thinly sliced
- 4 Eggs; room temperature
- 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese; plus more to garnish
- Salt
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large pot of Salted Water to a boil.
Add the Spaghetti to the boiling water and cook 1 minute short of the package instructions. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Eggs and Cheese with a generous amount of Freshly Cracked Black Pepper. Loosen with a small amount of pasta water.
When the Pasta has 1 minute left to cook add the Garlic to the rendered Bacon and cook until fragrant. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat.
Remove from heat and stir in the egg mixture until creamy. Add a small amount of reserved pasta water if pan is too dry.
Garnish with more Parmesan to serve.
1. You want room temperature Eggs so when they’re added to pasta, they don’t seize up.
2. Add a bit of pasta water into the egg mixture so it doesn’t cook all the way through..
3. When you add the eggs mixture to the pasta, make sure it is off the heat.
