recipe

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 200 g pasta (e.g. spaghetti)
- 100 g bacon or pancetta
- 2 eggs
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (e.g. parsley, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and reserve a bit of the cooking water.
2. In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon or pancetta until crispy. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the bacon and mix well. Remove the pan from the heat.
