Ingredients

• 8 slices of bacon
• 4 eggs
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3T heavy cream
• 3oz grated parmesan cheese
• Salt
• Pepper
• Parsley
• 8oz Bucatini pasta

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Stock pot
• Frying pan

Instructions

1. In a stock pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. If not using Bucatini, use a wider noodle like fettuccini.
2. Slice eight strips of bacon into small pieces. Add to fry pan and fry until crisp. Set aside to drain and save 2T of bacon fat for later.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Add in parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and whisk all ingredients together. Set aside.
4. Once pasta is done and drained, add reserved bacon fat to stock pot along with minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, over medium heat, until garlic begins to turn brown.
5. Add pasta to stock pot and turn off heat. While stirring, stream in egg/parmesan mixture until it covers all of the noodles. Make sure to stir constantly while doing this so the eggs do not become scrambled eggs!
6. Top with bacon and parsley and enjoy!
