Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) spaghetti
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil, divided
• 8 Slices bacon, minced
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 Cups dry white wine
• 4 Large eggs, whisked
• 0.5 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
• 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, toss spaghetti with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and set aside.
2. Place minced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon fat in the skillet. Add minced onion and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook 1 minute more.
4. Return cooked bacon to the skillet; add cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat and heat through, adding more olive oil if it seems dry or sticks together. Add whisked eggs and cook, tossing constantly with tongs or a large fork, until eggs are barely set. Quickly add 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese and toss again. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve warm with minced parsley sprinkled on top and extra grated Parmesan cheese at the table.

Enjoy this comforting and easy-to-make Italian classic with your family!
