- 2 yellow onions
- 3/4 liter heavy cream about 3 cups

- 1/2 lb. grated Parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cut bacon into small pieces and dice onion finely. Heat a large pan over medium heat and render the fat from the bacon. Once it is crispy, remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium low and sauté onion in bacon grease without coloring until tender. In a large bowl, whisk egg with cream. Season with salt & pepper.
- While onion cooks, cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain and add hot pasta to pan with onions.
