recipe

A delicious and creamy Italian pasta dish that combines spaghetti, crispy bacon, and a rich egg and cheese sauce.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 200 g spaghetti
- 100 g bacon or guanciale
- 2 eggs
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
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.
3. Add the minced garlic to the pan with the bacon and sauté for an additional minute.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it but reserve a bit of the cooking water.
6. Combine the pasta with the bacon and garlic in the pan. Remove the pan from heat.
