Description

The easiest, dreamiest pasta dish you’ll ever eat. Don’t let the idea of eggs in your pasta intimidate you—it’s worth it!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces, weight Uncooked Pasta
  • 5 slices Bacon, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Black Pepper

Preparation

In a large pot of salted water, cook spaghetti until al dente.

While spaghetti is cooking, heat a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry bacon until crisp.

About a minute prior to the bacon being finished, add the minced garlic and stir, turning down the heat under the pan if necessary to prevent the garlic burning. Remove pan from heat when garlic becomes fragrant.

In a large serving bowl, beat together the egg and grated cheese. Add a generous amount of black pepper.

Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water, then drain the cooked spaghetti. Immediately pour into frying pan and toss with the bacon and garlic. Pour the contents of the pan into the serving bowl and toss the pasta and egg thoroughly. Add reserved cooking water, a little at a time, if the sauce needs to be thinned out.
