Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Cook the pasta in 3-4 l boiling salted water (1 teaspoon salt per litre) according to the package instructions.

2. 2

   In the meantime cut off the rind from the bacon. Dice the bacon finely. Peel garlic and chop finely.

3. 3

   Fry the bacon in a pan without fat until crispy. Add oil to the pan. Add garlic and fry for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.

4. 4

   Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Mix in the bacon and garlic together with the frying fat.

5. 5

   Grate 50 g Parmesan cheese directly above the bowl to make the egg-bacon mix. Mix everything well. Season well with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Pour the pasta into a sieve, collecting about 100 ml of pasta water. Drain spaghetti briefly.

7. 7

   Fold the noodles and 4-5 tablespoons of noodle water into the egg-bacon mix. This works best with a fork. Mix everything thoroughly and quickly. Serve. Because more cheese is simply the best: grate the rest of the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the spaghetti together with coarse pepper.
