We've added a little half-and-half for a silky texture to this delicious pasta dish. Ingredients 1 pound spaghetti 8 ounces (8 slices) bacon, cut 1 inch thick crosswise Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 3 large eggs ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving ½ cup half-and-half Directions Set a large pot of water to boil (for pasta). In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Salt boiling water generously; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside. Drain pasta, leaving some water clinging to it. Working quickly, add hot pasta to egg mixture. Add bacon; season with salt and pepper, and toss all to combine (heat from pasta will cook eggs). Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese. Print
