01 Step

Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining. (Time: 8-10 minutes)

Recipe View While the pasta is cooking, place chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet. (Time: 6-8 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot spaghetti and toss quickly and continuously to create a creamy sauce. The heat from the pasta will gently cook the eggs. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. (Time: 2-3 minutes)

06 Step

Recipe View Add the crispy bacon to the spaghetti and toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, use guanciale instead of bacon.
Ensure the pasta is very hot when you add the egg mixture to cook the eggs gently and prevent them from scrambling.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is essential for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of reserved pasta water to achieve the perfect sauce consistency.
