For a richer flavor, use pancetta instead of bacon. Ensure the pasta is al dente to hold its shape during the final toss. Toss the egg mixture quickly to prevent curdling and achieve a creamy sauce. Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your preference. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but not crispy. (8-10 minutes). Drain on paper towels, then transfer to a bowl.
02
StepAdd onion to the drippings and saute over medium heat. (2-3 minutes). Add garlic and saute until onion is tender. (3-4 minutes). Pour in wine and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until wine evaporates. Add mixture to the bacon.
03
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite. (8-11 minutes).
04
StepMeanwhile, coat chicken in just enough oil to moisten. Place in the same skillet that was used for the bacon. Heat over medium heat and cook, sprinkling chicken with 1/2 of the basil, a pinch of nutmeg, and pepper, until browned. (5-7 minutes). Turn chicken and repeat seasoning on the other side. Continue to cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear. (5-7 minutes). Stir bacon mixture into the chicken and keep warm until pasta is done.
05
StepCombine eggs, cream, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg in a jar or shaker. Cover and shake until well combined.
06
StepDrain pasta and set aside in a bowl.
07
StepDump chicken mixture and all drippings into the pasta pot, away from the heat. Add pasta and toss well. All at once, pour egg mixture into the pot, tossing quickly and thoroughly to cook, but not curdle. Serve hot.
