Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 250 g pasta (e.g., spaghetti or penne)
- 100 g bacon or pancetta
- 2 eggs
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
2. In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon or pancetta until crispy. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the bacon and garlic. Mix well.
