Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings

- 300 g spaghetti
- 150 g bacon or guanciale
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions until al dente.
2. Chop the bacon or guanciale into small pieces and cook in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and whole egg. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
