Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in cheese.

In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Drain fat and chop bacon. In the same skillet cook the Italian sausage until no longer pink. Drain fat and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

Drain and put bucatini in bowl with the egg and cheese mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat. Add bacon, sausage and garlic. Toss to coat. If the pasta looks dry, add some reserved pasta water.

Season pasta with pepper. Divide pasta among 4 bowls.
