Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g pasta
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 70 g Parmesan cheese grated
  • 100 g bacon chopped

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Return the pasta to the pan with the remaining butter. Slowly pour in the egg mixture while stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust consistency.
  5. Stir in the crispy bacon and mix well.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

  • For a richer taste, use only egg yolks instead of whole eggs.
  • To make it vegetarian, skip the bacon or replace it with sautéed mushrooms.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Best served immediately, as the sauce thickens as it sits.
