Ingredients
- 1 package (16 oz) Spaghetti
- 10 strips bacon
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup frozen green peas
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water.
- Add the pasta and bring it back to a boil.
- Cook until done to your liking.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water. (DON\"T FORGET THIS)
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking its time to cook the bacon.
- Of course you can cook bacon in a sauce pan... BUT I grabbed my Pampered Chef Stoneware Bar Pan and decided to cook it that way :)
- Preheat Oven to 475F.
- Place single strips of bacon onto the Stoneware Bar Pan. (Or your favorite rimmed baking sheet
- Bake in the oven, for about 20 minutes. Bacon will come out crisp and beautiful!
- Once cooked, pull bacon from oven and let it rest for a few minutes while doing the next step.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with half the parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Transfer the bacon to a cutting board and chop bacon into bacon bits.
- Pour about 2 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pan into a sauce pan and heat to medium heat.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat in the bacon fat.
- Turn off the heat and add the egg mixture.
- Toss gently to coat the pasta and cook the eggs. Toss in the chopped bacon. Toss in peas.
- Toss everything together and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until peas are cooked.
- If the sauce is too thick, add the pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve with the remaining cheese and with parsley.
