Description

This pasta is a great brunch dish because it combines bacon and eggs with onions and spaghetti. Toss grated cheese on top and you have a fast and easy meal that is delicious as well.

Ingredients

• Kosher salt
• 6 oz. bacon, chopped
• extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 c.)
• 1 lb. spaghetti or your favorite pasta
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 bunch scallions/green onions, trimmed and chopped (about 1 c.)
• 1 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 c. freshly grated Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan cheese
• chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil for the pasta.
2. Wash scallions/green onions and chop. Peel onion and chop. Chop bacon.
3. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until fat has mostly rendered, about 4 - 5 minutes. (If bacon is very lean, add a drizzle of olive oil to help start the rendering of the fat.)
