Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 300 g pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 150 g bacon or pancetta
- 2 eggs
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley) for garnish
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon or pancetta in a skillet over medium heat 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. Once the pasta is ready, drain it, reserving a little cooking water. Add the pasta to the skillet with the bacon and garlic.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Stir quickly to cook the eggs with the heat of the pasta, avoiding scrambling. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency.
