Method
Cooking Pasta
Boil Water
Fill a large pot with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
Cook Spaghetti
Add 400 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Reserve Pasta Water
Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water for later use.
Drain Pasta
Drain the spaghetti in a colander and set aside.
Preparing Sauce
Cook Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 150 grams of diced bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix Eggs and Cheese
In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 100 grams of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Combining Ingredients
Combine Pasta and Bacon
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the bacon. Toss to combine and remove from heat.
Add Egg Mixture
Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while tossing rapidly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time until a creamy sauce forms.
Serve
Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper on top.
