🧂 Ingredients

1 Cook pasta according to package directions.
2 While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium high
heat until crisp. Remove bacon from the skillet and pour off all but two
tablespoons of bacon grease.
3 Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for one minute on low heat. Remove from
heat.
4 In a large serving bowl, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Set aside.
5 When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain well.
6 Add ¼ cup hot pasta water and drained pasta to the skillet with the bacon
grease. Add bacon and gently toss to combine, and cook 1 minute over low heat.
Add hot pasta to the egg/cheese mixture in the bowl and stir quickly to coat
pasta. Stir in additional pasta water a little at a time until a creamy
consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7 Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired.
