1 lb pasta (spaghetti, linguini, your choice)
1 lb bacon
6 eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
pepper (anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 cup based on your preference)
Fry one pound of bacon.
Bring water to boil and add pasta.
Let bacon rest on paper towels to drain excess grease. Then cut bacon into small pieces.
Beat six eggs and mix in parmesan cheese.
When pasta is done drain, reserving one cup of the pasta water.
Put pasta back in pot and add the egg/cheese mixture and work together.
Add pasta water to make 'saucier'.
Add pepper to taste--be sure to add plenty because the pepper really adds flavor to this dish.
I watched Ann Burells video on Food Network.com and I substituted bacon for panchetta. Great easy recipe for nights I really dont feel like cooking.
I have also added in a bit of romano for a stronger cheese taste.
