2 eggs
1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 box spaghetti, i break mine in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices bacon
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp ground chipotle pepper
In a medium-size bowl, beat together eggs and 1 cup cheese. Set aside.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water in a measuring cup. While the pasta cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat, I also added 1/2-1 c pasta water and let it simmer away until absorbed. Lower heat to med low. Stir 1/2 cup reserved cooking water into the egg and cheese mixture, stir vigorously til smooth. Pour mixture into skillet, tossing to coat. I added more pasta water at the point and stirred vigorously Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot!!
