Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon

So, here is an very quick and easy recipe that I always use whenever we are running late or low on food in the house (I'm not a fan of food shopping). I usually substitute the spaghetti for fettuccine.

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
generous 1/2 cup bacon, cut into matchsticks (we like bacon so I usually use a half to a full package)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lb. spaghetti
3 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bring a large pan of water to a boil. In a medium frying pan, heat the oil and saute the bacon and the garlic until the bacon renders its fat and starts to brown. Keep the bacon and its fat hot until needed.

Add salt and the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook until it is al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, beat the eggs and Parmesan cheese with a fork, and season with salt and pepper.

As soon the pasta is done, drain it quickly, and mix it into the egg mixture. Pour on the hot bacon and its fat. Stir well. The heat from the pasta and bacon fat will cook the eggs. Serve immediately.

I serve this with salad and garlic bread. Enjoy!
