Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 400 g pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 150 g bacon or pancetta
- 2 eggs
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)

- Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve a little 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, whisk together the eggs and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Combine the cooked pasta with the bacon and garlic in the pan. Remove the pan from heat.
