Cooking Instructions

15 mins
  1. 1

    Fill a pan with water (it should be over a litre) bring it to the boil. Once it’s boiling add a pinch of salt and throw in the spaghetti! Cook it according to the packets instructions, mine was 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    You need a large frying pan, put in the butter melt it on a medium heat! Whilst the butter is melting cut up the bacon. Once the butter is melted throw in the chopped bacon.

  3. 3

    Now the bacon is cooking, bash two cloves of garlic with a large knife to remove the skins. Put them in the pan whole you can remove them later. Stir well while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Crack two whole eggs in a bowl, then add the third yolk discarding the white! Whisk with a fork add salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Grate the Parmesan add nearly all of it to the egg and whisk again, but leave some of it for garnishing later!

  6. 6

    Next prepare the chilli and parsley.

  7. 7

    When the spaghetti is cooked and the bacon is crispy. Lift out the pasta and put it into the bacon, stirring well coating all those strands with the juices. Take the pan off the heat.

  8. 8

    When it has cooled a little (as you don’t want scrambled eggs) pour in the egg mixture into the pasta! Carefully coating the strands with the delicious cheesy egg sauce!

  9. 9

    Simply serve into a large sharing bowl and garnish! Sprinkle more black pepper on too!
