Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and toss quickly to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a creamy sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
