Ingredients

  • 12 oz. spaghetti
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3/4 c. Italian cheeses shredded (I used Stella Italian Sharp and Stella Fontinella)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet. Heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until bacon is browned. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain. Chop the bacon.
  • Combine the eggs and Italian cheeses in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Heat over medium heat and add the garlic, stirring for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add in the cooked pasta and the egg and cheese mixture. Quickly stir the ingredients together so that the egg does not scramble.
  • Add pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce is thick but coats the spaghetti.
  • Stir in the bacon and season with salt and pepper.
