Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

- 400 g spaghetti
- 150 g bacon or pancetta
- 3 eggs
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- Salt and 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. While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon or pancetta in a pan over medium heat 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 the mixture with salt and black pepper.
