Preparation
Step 1
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook 10 minutes or as per package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, add bacon to a large saute pan. Cook over med. heat 6 minutes or until slightly crispy. Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tab. of the drippings.
Blend milk, eggs, egg yolks and salt.
Heat bacon drippings over med. heat. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute. Quickly pour in milk mixture, whisking constantly to keep eggs from scrambling. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheese.
