Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti pasta uncooked
- 4 large egg room temperature, beaten
- 2 cups Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 6 lices Bacon diced, thick-cut
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- salt to taste
- parsley chopped for garnish, fresh
- red pepper flakes for garnish
- Parmesan Cheese grated for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Turn off the heat. Do not drain the pasta water; you will use it again.
- In a bowl, mix the beaten eggs with parmesan cheese, chipotle powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
- To the skillet with bacon grease, add garlic. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Using tongs, transfer the spaghetti directly from the pot to the skillet with bacon.
- Slowly pour in the egg mixture, constantly tossing with tongs. The residual heat from the pasta and pan will create a creamy sauce. If it thickens too much, gradually add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until smooth and silky. (I used about ½ cup pasta water.)
- Garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, and additional parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
