Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 8 slices thick bacon, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cups al dente–cooked pasta
• salt and pepper

Directions

1 In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and cheese; set aside.

2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, fry the bacon and onion together until the meat is browned and crisp and the onion has begun to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes.

3 Add the pasta. (If using cold, day-old pasta, cook until it’s just warmed through, about 1 minute.)

4 Pour the egg-and-cheese mixture into the skillet and reduce heat to low. Stir continuously until the pasta is coated with the eggs and they have begun to solidify.

5 Season with the salt and pepper, then serve immediately, with extra grated Parmesan on the side.
