Caution: Bacon cravings may arise during the cooking process. Keep an eye on your ingredients to avoid them mysteriously disappearing. Make sure to use caution when working with hot pans and boiling water.

1

Boil pasta until al dente

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and toss in your choice of pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente — firm to the bite. Then, drain it and set aside.

2

Sauté bacon and garlic in a pan

Dice up some bacon and grab a large non-stick pan. Heat it over medium-high heat, then add the bacon and let it sizzle until it turns crispy and golden. Toss in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn!

3

Whisk together eggs, cheese, and cream

In a bowl, crack open some eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add grated cheese (Parmesan, Pecorino, or both) and heavy cream. Mix everything together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture. Now it's time for the magic!

4

Combine everything for a creamy delight

Turn off the heat under the pan with the bacon and garlic. Add the cooked pasta right into the pan and toss it around evenly. Quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, continuously stirring until the sauce coats every strand of pasta. The residual heat will cook the eggs, creating a velvety sauce.
