Definitely adding this to my weekly meals 😌🔥
Recipe
• 8–9 oz (about 250g) pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 oz bacon (or pancetta), diced
• 2–3 cloves garlic (optional)
• Salt (for pasta water)
• Black pepper (freshly ground = best)

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Boil pasta
• Cook pasta in salted water.
• Save ½ cup pasta water before draining.
2. Cook bacon
• In a pan, cook bacon until crispy.
• Add garlic at the end (optional), then turn off heat.
3. Make the sauce
• In a bowl, whisk:
• Eggs
• Parmesan
• Black pepper
4. Combine (IMPORTANT step)
• Add hot drained pasta to the bacon pan (heat OFF).
• Slowly pour in egg mixture while tossing quickly.
• Add a little pasta water to make it creamy.
👉 The heat from the pasta cooks the eggs—this is what makes the sauce silky (not scrambled!).
