Preparation Steps

• Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels.
• In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
• Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with garlic. Remove from heat to prevent scrambling the eggs.
• Quickly pour egg and cheese mixture over pasta, tossing vigorously to coat. Add reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
• Stir in crispy bacon pieces, check seasoning, and serve immediately.
