Ingredients
200g pasta
6 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tbsp butter
70g Parmesan cheese, grated
100g bacon, chopped
Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This means the pasta should be cooked through but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta and set it aside, making sure to reserve a little pasta water in case you need it later.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
While the pasta is cooking, crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This step is crucial as it ensures the eggs blend smoothly with the pasta, creating a creamy texture.
Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook it until it becomes crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. The bacon not only adds a crunchy texture but also infuses the dish with a savory, smoky flavor. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
