How about a restaurant favourite you can make in your own kitchen? Using pancetta would make this even more authentic. Sprinkle with shredded cheese at the table.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 6 slices bacon or pancetta
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese or romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 pinch pepper

Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot over medium heat.

Meanwhile, in skillet, cook bacon for about 5 minutes or until slightly crisp. Drain on paper towel-lined plate; chop and set aside.

In bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and pinch pepper; add to drained pasta and cook, tossing, for about 30 seconds or until pasta is coated and eggs are slightly set. Add bacon; toss to combine.
