Gather your ingredients. This recipe is for two servings so just increase the ingredients according to how many people will be eating.
Step 2 of 21
Put on your water to boil.
Step 3 of 21
Put your bacon in a pan to fry. Some people cut up the bacon first but I find that method makes it hard to get evenly cooked, crispy bacon.
Step 4 of 21
Egg in a bowl.
Step 5 of 21
Whisk it!
Step 6 of 21
When the egg is fully beaten, begin to add the Parmesan cheese by the spoonful. Stir after each spoonful until you get get a thick consistency. Like a paste.
Step 7 of 21
Keep an eye on your bacon. Turn it over and cook until crispy.
Step 8 of 21
Add enough cheese to make "paste."
Step 9 of 21
Drain cooked bacon on paper towel.
Step 10 of 21
To the egg-cheese mixture, add a pinch of salt.
Step 11 of 21
And pepper. And garlic powder.
Step 12 of 21
Chop up the bacon.
Step 13 of 21
Until it's like this.
Step 14 of 21
Add the bacon to the cheese-egg mixture and stir.
Step 15 of 21
Until well mixed like this.
Step 16 of 21
When the water boils, add your pasta (Just using one half bag here). You can use any type - I'm using shells because I like the way the bacon goes into the little pockets. Fettuccine is also used.
Step 17 of 21
Stir pasta.
Step 18 of 21
Drop a tiny bit of the cooled bacon drippings to the cheese-egg mixture. Make sure the bacon grease has cooled down so you don't end up with scrambled eggs.
Step 19 of 21
When pasta is done drain out the water.
Step 20 of 21
Here's where you need to move fast… Return the pasta to your pot and quickly add in the cheese-egg- bacon mixture and stir rapidly. The heat of the pasta cooks the mixture into creamy deliciousness!
Step 21 of 21
You're all done! So fast and easy and so yummy! Enjoy!
I love to create! All kinds of things. Food, crafts, jewelry, art, photos, theater, events, history, social justice. My proudest creation is my daughter!
