Ingredients

  • Spaghetti (Linguini or Bucatini works too)
  • 1 Egg - separated
  • Shaved Parmesan Cheese
  • Bacon
  • Salt and Pepper

Method

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Before adding the pasta into the boiling water, make sure you heavily season the water with salt.
  • In a side skillet, cook your bacon. Additional vegetables can be added and should be cooked at this time.
  • When it seems like the bacon is ready, add a bit of Parmesan. Separate an egg, putting the yolk into the bowl that you’ll eat your pasta in and the whites into the skillet.
  • Drain your pasta and add it to the bowl with the yolk. Mix immediately so that the heat from the pasta “cooks” the yolk. This should make your pasta creamy.
  • Add the contents from the skillet into the bowl and immediately mix.
  • If necessary, season with salt and pepper and add more Parmesan to your taste.
